Lorny William Ness age 64 of Andover. Devoted father, husband, son, and brother, passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 6, 2024 at Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids, Minnesota surrounded by his loving family. Lorny was born March 24, 1960 in Austin, Minnesota to Larry B. and I. Joan M. (Dunker) Ness, Sr. He grew up in the Austin/Lyle Minnesota area for most of his life, where he made many great friends and caused a lot of trouble with his 3 brothers and sister in his younger years. He moved to Albert Lea his senior year and graduated from Albert Lea High School with high honors in 1978. After high school, he enlisted in the US Marine Corps where he served as a Private First Class in San Diego, CA and Okinawa, Japan until being honorably discharged in 1982. After his time in the Marine Corps, he moved to Kansas City, MO where he met the love of his life, Jackie Underwood. Lorny and Jackie met while working at Cork N Cleaver, where he was a cook and she was a hostess. It did not take long for Lorny to notice Jackie and her brown, leather mini skirt, and for Jackie to notice Lorny's long, dirty blonde hair. All it took was one wink and they both knew they were meant to be. After only dating for 4 months, they were married on June 21, 1984. They decided to plant their roots back in Minnesota to raise a family and two years later they had their first daughter, Joann and 16 years after that, they had their second daughter, Jillyan. Jackie, Joann, and Jillyan were the lights of his life, and he was their rock and protector. Throughout Lorny's life, he had a range of different jobs such as being a general manager at Zantigos/Taco Bell and Hardees and various delivery driver jobs, but he found his true passion working in IT as a Database Operator for Hormel, Jostens, and Medtronic. Lorny was a very proud grandfather of his beloved grandson Carter, who he loved to spend time with more than anything. He enjoyed watching Carter play the guitar and video games, tickling him to get him out of his chair, and greatly loved his big, squeezy hugs. Lorny also enjoyed other hobbies such as going golfing with his son-in-law Troy, being outside and taking care of his yard, playing his drums, watching both Sci-Fi and horror movies with his family, and was an avid Vikings and Twins fan. Lorny is survived by his wife of nearly 40 years, Jackie (Underwood) Ness, his mother I. Joan M. (Dunker) Ness, his daughters Joann (Troy) Ramaker and Jillyan Ness, his grandson Carter Ramaker, his 3 brothers Larry (Deb) Ness Jr, Lee Ness, and Lowell (Cheri) Ness, his sister Lori (Jim) Tusa, as well as his 4 aunts, Evelyn (Ness) Bollinger, Judith (Dunker) Uher, Carleen (Dunker) Austinson, uncle A. Michael Dunker, and his many loving cousins, in-laws, nieces and nephews who all meant the world to him. He is preceded in death by his grandparents Albert and Ethel Dunker, Ingvald and Alma Ness, his father Larry B. Ness Sr, and his uncles Dwayne A. Ness, Russell Ness, Dr. Carmen O. Ness, and Alexander Bollinger, Sr. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, April 13th, 2024 at 3 pm at 3005 142nd Lane NW; Andover, Minnesota 55304.
