Donald "Pete" Peter Hoie

Pete Hoie a proud Vietnam Veteran passed away peacefully at the Mahnomen Health Care Center at the age of 75.  Pete fought a tough battle against cancer since 2017 and always hoped he could win the fight but God’s plan was to take Pete to his heavenly home in the afternoon, Wednesday, April 17, 2024.

Funeral Services will be 10:30 a.m., Tuesday, April 23, 2024 at Bethel Lutheran Church, Bagley. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service at the church. Interment will be in Nora Township Cemetery, Bagley. Military honors will be provided by the Irvin Blix Post 16.

Pete grew up on a dairy farm south of Bagley along with four siblings and hard working parents Orville and Lois Hoie.

Pete graduated from Bagley High School with the Class of 1967.  After graduation Pete sailed on the Great Lakes until he was drafted into the Marine Corps on May 23, 1968 and was honorably discharged two years later as a Lance Corporal.  Pete continued to sail the Great Lakes until May 2017 when he was diagnosed with cancer and could no longer sail the Lakes.

Pete enjoyed being Honored twice as proud owner of two Century Farms.  The Foss Farm he lived on and just recently the Hoie Farm where he grew up.  Farming and sailing were his life and he did them both very well.

Pete is survived by his brother Terry (Arden Stevens) Hoie, Bemidji; twin sisters Charlene (Don) Olson & Cheryl (John) Grover, Bagley; youngest sister Randi (Steve) Reff, Blairsville, GA.  Pete is also survived by several nieces and nephews. Special friends Carter and Paisley Kemper. Close Cousin Debra Sculley and his beloved dogs Frankie and Lucy.
