He was baptized, confirmed, and attended Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church in Nelson, MN. He was born with club foot, so he spent much of his time at Gilette Hospital.

He married the love of his life Caryl Jane Donnan on December 10, 1983. They were blessed with two daughters: Amy Jane born in 1984, and Crystal Jean in 1989. He loved them with his whole heart. In 2011 Brandon Luedeke married Crystal and joined the family and in 2016 Eric Sweigart married Amy and joined the family. Over the years they were blessed with seven grandchildren. Those kids were his life. He was employed as a welder in 1985 until he retired due to health in 2018. He owned and operated Nick Nack’s bait and tackle for 10 years.
