Family and Friends Service will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at Thompson Funeral Home, Garrison, ND. The Family will be greeting friends and family starting at 10:00 AM.

Nathan Bostow was born on April 5, 1940, to Luke and Rose (Strilcov) Bostow. Nathan attended school in Max until the 8th grade when he decided to go to work for his father at the family business. Working at the Benedict Implement alongside his father led to his lifelong career in the Case IH industry.

In 1978, Nathan married Linda Herman and later divorced. Through this marriage he gained three stepchildren (Kerby, Ken, Debbie) and they remained an important part of his life. In 1979, Nathan’s daughter Nicole was born followed by the birth of his son Vince in 1982.

In 1983, Luke retired and sold the Benedict Implement, so Nathan moved his family to Garrison. This is where he continued his lifelong journey in the Case IH parts business working as a parts man with Berntson Equipment in Garrison, Underwood Implement, and Schwarz Implement in Garrison. He retired in May of 2002 just in time to welcome his grandchildren. Nathan’s children and grandchildren were his greatest joy. Nathan was anxiously waiting for the birth of his first great-grandchild.

Nathan enjoyed many things throughout his life. He enjoyed ice fishing, snowmobiling, and was in several bowling leagues in his younger years. Later in life he enjoyed feeding and watching wildlife, visits from his children and grandchildren, enjoying westerns, and going for drives. He never would turn down a trip to the local Dairy Queen for a sundae. In October of 2023 Nathan moved to the Meadows Assisted Living where he resided until his death. Nathan will be greatly missed and we will cherish all of the special memories we had with him.

Nathan is survived by his children, Nicole Folden of Garrison, Vince (Heather) Bostow of Max; grandchildren, Skyla (Ben) Heger of Underwood, Berkley Gieser of Garrison, Dawson and Madisyn Bostow of Max; stepchildren, Kerby Sandberg of Garrison, Ken (Karmen) Sandberg and family of Bismarck, Debbie (Jason) Hartung and family of Sawyer; sister, Twila Olson of Glendale, Arizona; and many nieces and nephews.

Nathan is preceded in death by his parents, Luke and Rose Bostow; son-in-law Kevin Folden; brother-in-law, Orvie Olson; and niece, Reeon Olson.
