Les was born December 3, 1974, the son of James and Reva (Brandt) Prange in Wells, MN. He attended Wells-Easton High School, graduating with the United South Central class of 1993. He attended Riverland College and was a master electrician with Seneca Foods in Blue Earth, MN. He was united in marriage to Amy Sue (Holstad) in Nashua, IA on April 13, 2002, to this union three sons were born: Calob, Conner, and Riley.
Having a strong work ethic and the ability to be a “jack of all trades”, Les was known to give of himself selflessly without asking for anything in return. He loved being outdoors, following in his father’s footsteps in his knowledge of trapping, fishing, and hunting. Les enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, particularly in going up north to the cabin with his boys and brother. He made friends easily and made a lasting impression on everyone he met. Les will be remembered for his willingness to help others, exemplary trapping skills, bright smile and infectious laugh, as well as the special twinkle in his eyes. His sons were his pride and joy. He loved them with all his heart.
Les is survived by his wife Amy, 3 sons: Calob, Conner and Riley Prange; mother Reva Prange, siblings, Lisa (John) Cain of Wells, Loren (Becky) Prange of Minnesota Lake and Linda (Joe) Moravec of Waterville, MN; brother-in-law Steve (Stacey) Holstad of South St. Paul; and sister-in-law Terri Meyer of Lake Mills, IA.
He was preceded in death by his father James; father-in-law Stanley Holstad; mother-in-law Barbara Holstad; grandparents, uncles, and aunts.

When Les was in high school, he spent a lot of time in my home with my kids. There was often a card game going with Les, Jeff, Billy, Bucky, Brian and many others. I never could bake enough to keep those boys filled up! My deepest sympathies to his wife and boys! I know he will be missed.

My Deepest Condolences, Thoughts and Prayers to Amy, Calob, Conner and Riley in your time of loss. It’s hard for me to find any words to ease or comfort your pain at this time.
I will always remember Les, “For his willingness to help others, bright smile and infectious laugh, as well as the special twinkle in his eyes. His sons were his pride and joy. He loved them with all his heart. He made friends easily and made a lasting impression on everyone he met.” No truer words were ever written.
I have only known Les since he came to work at Seneca Foods, on my visits to the Blue Earth plant I always looked forward to seeing and visiting with Les, hearing about the boys and their trapshooting, varmint hunting, and the cows and calves. Whenever anything was broke down at the plant Les was always right there helping me out. Hardest working guy at the plant, always willing to help out.
Les was a “One of a kind man” and will be greatly missed. The world needs more men like him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Reva, our hearts are broken for your loss. Love and prayers
Very sorry to hear of Les’ passing. So many great memories growing up with Les and the entire Prange Family as next door neighbors. Prayers to the Prange Family.
