So sorry, Venton was a great guy and I have many fun filled memories from his many years at the CO-OP store. He will be missed!
My prayers to his family. I'm gonna miss his wisdom, and friendship. He was a loving stepparent when he didn't have to be. I will cherish the memories of fishing, helping with his cows, fixing vehicles, and just being there with a shoulder and ear. My daughter will always cherish the 4wheeler rides and the fishing. He never raised his voice in anger, he would always think things over before he would react to anything. I'm gonna miss him. He's with his eternal family now and may they all rejoice.
Lois and I were so sorry to hear of Venton’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Reading Rev. 21:3, 4 and John 5:25 have always brought me comfort, and hopefully will do the same for you.
