Kjellberg

Gregory Bruce Kjellberg, 67, of Fargo, ND, formerly of New Ulm, MN, passed away unexpectedly due to complications of liver cancer on November 4, 2026, at Mayo's Methodist Hospital in Rochester, MN.

Greg was born on March 16, 1959, in St. Paul, MN, to Bruce and Gloria Kjellberg. He spent significant time during his childhood in South Dakota and Michigan and graduated from Eisenhower High School in Utica, MI. After graduating from Concordia College in Moorhead, MN, Greg attended dental school at the University of Minnesota. He joined the U.S. Navy after dental school and served 7 years at various duty stations. Upon the completion of his Navy career, Greg joined the staff of New Ulm Dental Clinic in New Ulm, MN, where he practiced for the next 31 years. Shortly after retirement, he and his wife moved to Fargo, ND in 2024 to be near children and grandchildren.

Greg was passionate about golf and fishing, both of which he used to maintain connections with various groups of friends. He was a dedicated man of faith and shared his prodigious vocal talent in church choirs, high school and college choirs, and with his wife upon her request.

Greg is survived by his wife of 44 years, Jerilyn; children, Tye (Kristen), and Meia; grandchildren, Teryn and Anders; siblings, Linda (Steve) Eickman, Jeff Kjellberg, Kjirstin (Tom) Delaney; siblings-in-law, Jana and Paul Rushlow, Jennifer and Lou Garriga, Jodi Merrimack and Curtis McDaniels; mother-in-law, Joyce Dunnum; and many nieces and nephews.

A funeral service will be held at 11am on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Moorhead, MN, with visitation one hour prior, and will be livestreamed on both the Hanson-Runsvold Funeral Home and church websites.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the NUMAS House in New Ulm, MN.

Special thanks to the fine staff at both Essentia Hospital in Fargo and Mayo's Methodist Hospital in Rochester, MN, to blood donors everywhere, and to those whose prayers have sustained we who mourn.
