Abe Abraham

Abe Alton Abraham, 65, of Wolf Point died Nov. 16, 2021.

He was born May 1, 1956, in Wolf Point to Phyllis Marie Hoffman Abraham and Raymond Frederick Abraham. His younger years were spent in Richey with his three brothers and six sisters. He was the sixth out of 12 children. In the early 1960s, the family moved from Richey to the family farm located northeast of Vida. He attended first grade in Richey and then attended Southview School, a two-room school house near the farm and then completed his high school education at Wolf Point High School, graduating in 1975.

After high school, he started working at Jessie’s Supper Club at the crossroads on U.S. Hwy 2. Eventually, he began working as a mechanic for Wolf Point Implement in Wolf Point until it closed. He also worked for Cenex/ AgLand and the City of Wolf Point, then later Albertsons. He briefly moved out to Vida where he worked at the local fertilizer plant. Once the plant sold, he moved back to Wolf Point and began working at Pro-Tire. He was currently working back at Albertson’s in the meat department.

One of the proudest moments in his life was the birth of his daughter, Kerri, in 2004. His life quickly turned into that of a single dad. Wherever he was going, he was sure to have his baby girl in tow. He worked hard to give his daughter anything she needed and took great joy in watching her grow into a young woman. Together, they enjoyed fishing, visiting museums, working on their rental properties and attending gun and car shows.

He enjoyed his antique/ vintage automobiles (aka rust buckets). Whenever he came across a new find, he liked to share photos and discuss his plans of restoration with anyone who would listen. He enjoyed attending local gun shows and sharing his love of firearms with those that were as enthusiastic as he was. In his younger days, he was an avid fisherman and hunter. He enjoyed family gatherings and loved to just sit and visit with those around him.

Earlier this year, he had been to the veterans memorial wall in Fort Peck, observing all the different veterans’ names and noticing that his father did not have a tile. He took matters into his hands and contacted the rest of the family to participate in purchasing a tile. Family was important to him.

He was preceded in death by brothers, Kenneth and Leslie Abraham; and sisters, Anna Nichols and Nancy Harmon.

He is survived by his daughter, Kerri; brother, Henry Abraham of Vida; and sisters, Rosa Anderson of Sidney, Mary Abraham of Vida, Sally Hollowell of Lewistown, Brenda Abraham of Wolf Point, Betty Romo of Wolf Point and Vicky Boysun of Wolf Point.
