CHANNING JAMES “Dude” BERWALD

Channing James “Dude” Berwald, age four, Town of Ogema, Wisconsin, died at his home on Sunday, January 13, 2019. He was born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on November 30, 2014, the son of Calvin and Sara Berwald.

Channing possessed an infectious smile and laugh. Mom’s little helper and Dad’s tractor buddy, “Little Dudimus” was very adventurous and loved the outdoors where he enjoyed gathering worms, snakes, and “wogs.” He was a true farm boy and mud magnet, working his tractors, playing in the sandbox, and collecting dinosaurs. His wild and witty spirit will be deeply missed by his family.

Channing is survived by his parents, Calvin and Sara (Tvedt); by three siblings, Chance, Calli, and Charina, all living at home; by his paternal grandmother, Eunice Berwald, Estelline, SD; by his maternal grandparents, Ronald (Claudia) Tvedt, Brandt, SD, and Lisa Olean, Watertown, SD; and by numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Arlen Berwald.

Funeral services will be held at the Ogema Baptist Church in Ogema at 2:00 P.M. on Saturday, January 19, with Rev. Rodney Price and Rev. William Abeler, Channing’s uncle, officiating. Friends may call at the church on Saturday from 12:00 Noon until the time of service.
