Donald John Kloos, son of Daniel and Freda (DeVries) Kloos was born October 1, 1941 at his family's farm home in Grant County, Minnesota. Don grew up on a farm near Herman, where he also began his schooling, attending Herman High School. On June 19, 1965, he was united in marriage to Helen Kopel in Donnelly, Minnesota. Over the years, Don did road construction in South Dakota, prestressed concrete in Roseville, and drove truck for a couple years until he started farming in 1967. Don continued farming for the rest of his life. He loved everything about the farm, especially his John Deere Tractors. He also had 20, 000 chickens, where he marketed his own eggs, farrowed 150 sows and milked 40 cows.
Don loved all aspects of horses, working with them and attending many functions involving draft horses. He also enjoyed attending auction sales. Don loved spending time with his grandkids and driving around in his golf cart, checking out the farm and crops with his dog Shep.
