Quentin “Beesh” Leonard Alberts, 72, was born March 15, 1946 and called home on January 30, 2019.

Beesh was born and raised in Fort Totten, ND where he attended school at Calvary Square, Oberon, ND and eventually graduating from Maddock High School. He was part of the first graduating class of Little Hoop Community College.  From there he would attend the University of North Dakota where he made the President’s List.  He worked for the Spirit Lake Tribe in various job titles, including Finance.  After his work in Finance he moved to Bismarck, ND.  He lived there until he became ill, he then resided at the Good Samaritan Society in Lakota, ND until his passing. 

Beesh was very generous and always thought of others. When family or friends needed help he would be the first to offer without question.  He enjoyed listening to CCR and loved cars, he was very clever and loved to joke around. 

Beesh is survived by his hunka son, Dale Alberts; sisters Winona Fox and Sally Cavanaugh; aunt Marie Abraham and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents George and Alvina Alberts; brothers Christopher “Buddy” Alberts, Allen Alberts, Roger “Hudge” Alberts and Joseph Alberts; sisters Virginia Lancelot and Linda Alberts.
