4th Generation 

Donald Robert Sewell 1979-2004 

Don was the first born son to James and JoAnne, and along with his brother Brian took a keen interest in farming early on. Growing up around the family farm, he was always involved in operation activities tagging along with his Grandpa and Dad, or playing with tractors and farm toys at home.

 

This love of farming led to future plans of running a farm with Brian one day.

 

Don was a Journeyman Water Well Driller and also bought his first quarter in 2003. He proudly seeded and harvested his first crop that year but on January 4, 2004, his 25th birthday, Don was killed in a car accident not too far from home.

 

Immediately the future of the family farm looked very different and running the operation without him, his thoughts and ideas, and his crazy fun loving spirit never gets easier. Everyday we remember him and think about what it would be like if he was still here.
