Obituary of Donald J. Borgmann

Donald J. Borgmann of Duluth, MN, died on Sunday, January 12, 2025, at Keystone Bluffs in Duluth. He was born to Arthur and Alvina Borgmann in Sauk Centre, MN, on April 19, 1933.

He enlisted in the US Army in 1953 and was honorably discharged in December 1955. Don married LaVonne Skeie on June 29, 1955, while he was home on leave. They were blessed with four children.

After living many years in Alexandria, MN, Don moved to Duluth in 2023. Don was an avid hunter and fisherman. One of his joys was the many trips he took to Alaska. He always had a smile on his face and was known for his wonderful laugh.

He was preceded in death by his wife, LaVonne; daughter Susan and her husband Tom Thoele; and his brother, Paul. Don is survived by his children, Barbara (Joel) Baseley; Becky (Paul) Kilgore; Craig (Lyn) Borgmann; nine grandchildren; eight great grandchildren, with two more on the way. He is also survived by his brothers Wayne (Arlene); Bob (Myrna); Dave (Linda); Ken (Pug); and Mike (Pam); and many nieces and nephews. He was deeply loved and will be dearly missed.

The family would like to thank the staff at Keystone Bluffs and Duluth Heights Lodge for the loving care they gave Don. You were all truly a blessing to him.
