Charles Bangs

Charles Francis Bangs, 59, of Fergus Falls, passed away unexpectedly on April 28, 2022.

He was born in Jamestown, ND on October 5, 1962, to Charles K. and Marian F. (Heathcote) Bangs.  He moved with his family to the Fergus Falls area in 1963 and he remained a resident of Fergus Falls the rest of his life.  He attended school in Fergus Falls and earned his GED.  In 1981, he and Lynn Jensen became the proud parents of a son, Mat Jensen.  Charles grew up on Long Lake and loved fishing, boating, skiing, and getting together with family and friends.  He loved planting flowers and arranging flower beds.  He started rock hunting and polishing rocks, spending many hours with friends enjoying this hobby.  Later in life, his health declined and limited his ability to continue to enjoy all his hobbies.
