Cheyenne Holtgrewe
A man of many talents and skills. A man who helped raised and support 8 of his grandchildren without hesitation for the last 18+ years. A man who loved his pets like they were his own children. A man not living in a mans world, but a world that revolved around his family. I learned about God through him, I learned that the dollar store food was just as good as a Walmart’s, I learned to take pride in the things in my life that I was good at, from experience with him. He came from very little, but gave so much to so many. I grew a love for being surrounded by people at auction houses and learning where they came from and who they were, through him. I learned my second name to be Shania. I learned later in life that it was not at all common for your grandparents to call into school every Friday to take you to “the sales” with them. I saw a man who had a passion for the outdoor world and loved it. I witnessed a man always be there for his family, no matter how far away they were. One thing I did not learn from him, was how to survive in the world without a grandfathers love. I have no grandparents left. I’m grateful for the many years I was blessed to have him be in my life. Honored that he got to walk me down the aisle with my father in my wedding. Empty because I’ll never have the great presence of a great man like that in my life anymore. I pray he is at rest and with grandma, like he wished for all these years of her being gone. Grandma and grandpa together in Heaven is going to be a hell ride for Jesus, I hope he’s ready. May your precious souls never be forgotten papa. Always and forever I’ll love you.
