To all of the Holtegaard Families,                        I am so so sorry to hear of the tragic news about Nathan. He was such a nice and polite young man. I mentored the beef program for Dresser Valley 4H and my children showed dairy steers with Nathan and his sisters. The Holtegaards are a Wonderful Family and it was a pleasure to get to know each and every one of them. I was fortunate enough also to be able to meet Katie as well at the golf course. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you! Sincere sympathies!

Our families shared time through 4- H. When we heard the news , we were stunned.  God 's mercy and Grace will help you through the difficult days. . You are very much in our prayers and thoughts.                                                                Brian, Kevin, Doreen,  Tabitha Hoffman

Katie, I am so so sorry to learn of your family's loss. I cannot imagine.  Give those kiddos a hug for me and know that you have been and are in our prayers.  If there is anything I can do, please reach out.

Katie and girls, Roger and Melinda and families.   You all have our deepest sympathy at this time.  Nathan was a good person and would do anything he could for us.  He will definitely be missed.  We are sorrowful for you.  Love you Katie and girls.

Katie and family.  So heartbroken for this news. I am so sorry and am praying for you and your beautiful daughters and the whole family.  

Our deepest sympathy to the Holtegaard family.  We are so sorry for your loss and are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. 
With love,

My sincere sympathy to the Holtegard family for their loss. As a field representative with Minnesota Farmers Union I followed the dairy operation for many years and was proud to have them as members. I was also able to be a part of last year’s Breakfast on the Farm and appreciate the willingness to showcase their farm and promote dairy. May your memories help ease your grief. 

Katie, I have never met you. Lucille Kuhl was in the birthing ward when roger was born (my mother in law) Lucy gave birth to her oldest son Larry that same day. To hear (as a fellow farmer) what happened is so sad. I can’t express how I feel for you. If you need anything at all don’t hesitate to contact the Kuhl family. Lots of love ❤️

To the Holtegaard family -

There are no words to adequately express how sad and how sorry we are that this tragedy has happened to your wonderful family.  We are praying for God to give you strength during this terrible time and eventually the peace that only He can give.  We are thinking of each of you and sending love from Ohio.  xoxo

My heart broke when I heard the sad news. Katie- you a strong lady- hold those girls close. You and your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers!

I am having great difficulty even finding words....This news absolutely broken my heart. Nate was such a hard worker, kind soul, and gentle heart. My deepest condolences to Kate, his beautiful little girls, and his family. Rest in Peace Nate.

Katie I am so sorry to hear about Nathan!  Hugs and prayers to you and the girls!

I have had the opportunity to work with Nathan and the family for the past several years. I have never met a nicer family and to find this out today was heartbreaking. I don’t have words to express how terrible I feel for this wonderful family. We just need to put this in the hands of the Lord to help us get through this. You will be deeply missed Nathan 

Nate was a dear friend to me at Century and into our college years. We loved to crack jokes and make each other laugh. With Nate’s help, I made the same bed as he in senior year wood shop class. I have not spoken with Nate (Holty) in so long I’m very sad to hear this news. I occasionally travel from my home on the east coast to visit my family in Rochester, and had intended to get his number from Adam Jensen to plan a visit to the farm to show my 3 year old son the animals and catch up. I’m truly sorry for the family, and Nate’s friends of this loss of a great man. I pray you find comfort in the many memories of the good times together.

With deepest sympathy,

Shaun Servais
