Arvid Reimann, 81, longtime Minot area photographer and formerly of Velva, died on Sunday, December 13, 2020 in a Bismarck hospital.

Arvid Eldys Reimann was born on November 5, 1939 in Garrison, ND to John and JoHannah (Steinwand) Reimann.  He was raised on a farm in the valley of the Missouri River until their farm was flooded due to the Garrison Dam and the family moved to Velva.  Arvid attended school in Velva and graduated from Velva High School in 1957.  He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1958 and served until his honorable discharge in 1961.  He returned to Minot where he was employed at Lowe and Larson Printing.

Arvid married Marilynn Lochthowe on October 17, 1970 in Missoula, MT.  They made their home in Minot where he continued with Lowe and Larson Printing and was a part time photographer.  He always appreciated Lowe and Larson Printing for letting him always do what he needed while taking pictures at Minot State University.  Arvid and Marilynn switched to full time photography, opening Reimann Photography in 1976 and worked together in photography until 2005 when they retired. During his retirement he worked part time at Target and kept busy working in his garden and yard.

Arvid was a member of Our Redeemer's Church - Minot and served as the President of the North Dakota Professional Photographers Association.  He enjoyed gardening and yard work, travel (especially to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico) and spending time with his family and pets.  He will be remembered as the man who often got the life story from each person he met, and he enjoyed the challenge of becoming a friend to everyone he met and worked with. He often said he was a farm boy at heart.

Arvid's loving family includes his wife of 50 years: Marilynn; daughters:  Michele Reimann (Freddy Damon) of Minot, and Adele Reimann-Grosz (Shawn Grosz) of Minot; grandchildren:  Tristan Keyes, Xander, JoHannah, Sydnee, Annalise and Elijah Grosz; niece:  Maria (Kevin) Landrum and their children Khadeja and Jezzika and nephews:  Billy and Bobby Schindler. Arvid had many extended family members in the surrounding area and in Missoula, MT that were very special to him.

Arvid was preceded in death by his parents and siblings:  Violet Powers, Ralph Reimann and Larry Reimann, and several other close family members.
