Ervin P. Langholz was born on February 23, 1934 in Mobridge, South Dakota and passed away on July 8, 2020 in Sun City, Arizona. A funeral service—for immediate family only—will be held at American Lutheran Church, where he was a member and had once served as Pastor of Care Ministry. A Celebration of Life for the extended congregation will occur at a later date.

We lift up in prayer his family and friends and the community at American Lutheran. With all of you, we are giving thanks to God for Ervin, his faith, his love, his humor, and his joy-filled ability to relate so well to everyone. 

He survived by his four sons, David, John, Paul, and Mark. His siblings are Mildred Herder, Doris Johnson, Ruth Weikel, and Lois Langholz. Ervin’s wife, Carrie Langholz, preceded him in death. 

Last Saturday Erv celebrated his 60th ordination anniversary. He was a graduate of both Wartburg College and Wartburg Seminary.
