Well, my favorite teacher ever died today.(Mr. Gigstad)

[YellowEvo]

yeah halloween our senior year was BA just handed us like 2 lbs of candy each... and brought us back and showed his other RX-7's and just would sit and bullshit with us about cars every day in class if we got done with the assignment early

[Bookem]

He will be missed by many, by far the best teacher ever. R.I.P. Giggy

Who all is going to the funeral?

[STiSchucky]

I'll probably be at the NDSU/Gopher game, but I plan on going to the visitation. What time is everybody else going/anybody else?

[StangerBanger96]

I want to go to either the Visitation or the Funeral...not sure which yet.

Both will be packed obviously.

[KA-T_240]

I know me and Jake T. will be going to the funeral

[slow90gsx]

I want to be like him when im old!Down to earth dude for sure.

[svxAL]

im in his class right now and its not goin to really hit me till hes not there anymore its just so wierd to think hes gone

[Jim]

Man... I had him for mentorship... he was awesome...

I think I just talked to him the entire time.

Def. one of the coolest teachers in the moorhead school system...

I heard about this today in class and just about started crying. Gigstad had, without a doubt, one of the best attitudes towards teaching and life in general.I had him for government and mentorship. He was a big inspiration to me and was one of the reasons I chose the major that I did. He had blue s4 FC out at the fargodome auto x 2 years ago if anyone can remember that...

"You'll know its my last day teaching when I come in with a cigarette in my mouth, a coke in one hand and a bottle of jack in the other"

He owned a mig, tig and arc welder, a plasma cutter and a whole bunch of other fab tools and used them on a regular basis.

He will be greatly missed and can never be replaced.

That really sux.......He was by far one of the best teachers at MHS. I will be going to the funeral.

[aliengotpsi]

Lets not forget he took his ss auto chrome manifold for his wrx and re-welded to make it stronger befor he put it on his car..!!! We will miss you alot from SLD/SLS. He came by the shop many times to bullshit and he bought a few parts from SLS..

I will remember you for ever!!!

[91psiTSI]

This is Smittys mom. Kurt Gigstad's wife works at Fargo South and his son also teaches in Fargo. He will be deeply missed by staff, students and former students of MHS.

sad news

[Bryce]

This ruined my week, I just talked to him at M&H a few weeks ago.. He took my number down, and we were going to shoot the shit.

What a awful loss of life. Best teacher I ever had.
