Mark Edward Reitmeier
Mark Edward Reitmeier, 31 of Bemidji, MN, passed away on February 26, 2018 at his home in Minneapolis, MN. He was born on February 16, 1987 in Bemidji, MN to Timothy Reitmeier and Valerie (Watson) Ras. A memorial celebration of Mark's life will be held at First Baptist Church, 1555 Paul Bunyan Dr. NW, Bemidji, MN 56601 in Bemidji on Saturday, April 7, at 1:00 pm. All are welcome to attend.
Mark grew up in Bemidji where he attended school and was baptized and confirmed as a member of Calvary Lutheran Church. He was a man of many talents; he excelled on the skateboard, played the violin, and although not formally trained in music, he could play the drums and piano by ear and loved to sing and dance. Mark loved to fish and fix things; he would cobble together hoarded parts to make repairs and would create useful items for everyday life. He was involved in Tae Kwon Do in his younger years and was awarded several trophies and ribbons in tournaments. Mark held a passion for people and cared deeply for those in need and would reach out to them by simply starting friendly conversations or making sure the homeless were fed. He volunteered at the homeless shelter in Bemidji in his mid-teens and greatly enjoyed that time; that was his heart. Along with Mark came his crazy and silly sense of humor; he lived for making people laugh and always made sure everyone was having a good time. He worked hard at everything he did and accomplished many good things. Shortly after High School, Mark moved to California for a brief period of time where he pursued his skateboarding a little more seriously. He was actually sponsored and was so proud of that. He then moved to Duluth, MN in 2006 and worked at Customer Link where he met his wife Virginia (Gigi) Hudson. They were married in Duluth on September 25, 2010. Together, their creativity for special occasions were always over the top, enthusiastically thought out and cherished by all. They welcomed three beautiful children into their family: Caden Isaiah (8),Kevin Josiah (6) and Kalise Renee (4). Mark loved his wife and children very much; he prided himself on being a good father and played with his children often as he was a big kid at heart. Mark committed his life to the Lord and was re-baptized at the Vineyard Church, Duluth. He loved the Lord and demonstrated that by wanting to share his faith and encourage others who seemed to be struggling with issues in their lives. Mark moved his family to ND for 8 months while he worked on the oil rig there, he was very proud about that. In 2012, Mark and his family moved back to Bemidji and he worked for the ODC as a job coach and fell in love with the relationships that he had developed there. He was an active AWANA leader for First Baptist Church and was a true role model for the children there who loved him. He attended NWTC where he pursued a career in HVAC/Plumbing. In 2017, Mark and his family moved to Minneapolis, MN where he began working as a facility maintenance manager at The Arrows overseeing over 50 units, putting his fixer-upper abilities to good use. Mark will be remembered for the love he had for his wife and children along with his family and friends. He was a dedicated worker and always wanted to contribute good into the world. He will be sadly missed and was loved by many. Few could hug as this man could, so warm and secure.
Mark is survived by his wife, Virginia Reitmeier, sons Caden and Kevin Reitmeier, daughter Kalise Reitmeier of Minneapolis, MN. Parents Timothy (Sandra) Reitmeier of Wilton, MN and Valerie (Lauren) Ras of Bemidji, MN. Brother Matthew (Nadeana) Reitmeier of Mt. Iron, MN, sister Sarah (Romell) Bennett of Bagley, MN. Step brother Eric Nordlum of Bemidji, step sisters Christa Nordlum of New Brighton, MN, Laura Tenney and Anna (Mike) Nordlum of Bemidji, MN. Special grandparents Judy and Wendell Webster of McIntosh, MN, maternal grandfather Richard Watson of Mahtowa, MN and many aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces and cousins. He is preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Charles Reitmeier, paternal grandmother, Doloris Reitmeier and maternal grandmother, Claudette Watson, and cousin, Kevin Reitmeier.

8585. “As family mourns 14-year-old killed in St. Paul scooter crash, they call for more traffic safety,” Kevin Reitmeier, Pioneer Press, St Paul, MN, July 3, 2025, https://www.twincities.com/2025/07/03/kevin-reitme...-paul-scooter-crash/.
At a memorial in St. Paul for a 14-year-old who loved gaming, there’s a framed graphic of a video game controller and also the words, “Just 5 More Minutes.”
It’s what most kids playing video games ask their parents, but also what Kevin Reitmeier’s family wishes they had with him.
“I’d give anything for five more minutes with my nephew,” Jameel Marshall said Thursday.
At a growing memorial for Reitmeier, who died in a motorized scooter crash Tuesday, his family remembered the teen and also called for more safety at the West Side intersection.
Reitmeier was going into his freshman year at St. Paul’s Humboldt High School. “He loved life, was very energetic, loved his family and friends, loved God,” said aunt Reese Marshall.
He was adventurous and enjoyed being in nature. He had told his mother he wanted to live in the woods when he grew up, said grandmother Angela Tucker.
Safety at intersection ‘should have been addressed,’ grandma says
On Tuesday at about 8:50 a.m., police say that Reitmeier was operating a gasoline-powdered scooter. A 13-year-old, who Reitmeier’s family said was a friend of his, was the passenger. The scooter struck the front of a pickup truck at Ohio and George streets, police have said.
Preliminary information indicated the scooter was being operated in the street, ran a stop sign before the crash, and that neither of the teens wore helmets, police have said.
Police have said the pickup driver did not show signs of impairment and is cooperating with the investigation.
Reitmeier, who lived in the area, was pronounced dead at the hospital. His 13-year-old friend was in critical but stable condition as of Wednesday morning, according to police.
The intersection is controlled by stop signs at all four corners. Grandmother Stacy Schminkey said there’s a problem with people not stopping at the intersection “and this should have been addressed.”
“I’ve seen the comments online and … they’re blaming” Reitmeier, Schminkey said. “… Don’t put the blame on him when you have grown people who are licensed, passed the test, and they’re not stopping. Then, you’ve got a kid and what’s he going to do? Follow the example of what everyone else is doing.”
When the family starts to heal, Schminkey said she’s wants to push for traffic lights at the intersection.
The city has already been intending to resurface George Street this year, according to the Public Works Department. The plan does not call for traffic lights at George and Ohio streets, though pedestrian and crossing improvements are intended for the intersection.
“Bumpouts (or curb extensions) will be added on the south side of the street to improve visibility of people crossing George Street, reduce the crossing distance for people walking, and slow drivers by narrowing the street. There will also be bumpouts into Ohio where possible,” according to a Public Works website.
‘Wish this day wasn’t true’
Handwritten notes to Reitmeier have been left at his memorial: “I wish this day wasn’t true,” one said. “Hug your dad extra tight for us,” said another note (Reitmeier’s father died in 2018).
At Reitmeier’s memorial, in addition to the gaming references, there are stuffed animals and balloons in his favorite color of green, flowers and plants because he enjoyed gardening with his mother and picking flowers for her, a Bible for his faith, and his favorite soda and chips — root beer and Funyuns.
Reitmeier was “fearless,” said uncle Jameel Marshall. “He never let anything stop him from achieving a goal.”
He loved fireworks — “the kid was a firework himself” — and he enjoyed the Fourth of July, Marshall said.
