In 2014, Eldon surrendered his life to Christ. He was a tradesman who was a welder, artist, architect, engineer, pilot, and rancher. He enjoyed riding his Harley Davidson and spending time bargaining for a deal. He always talked of panning for gold and he didn’t miss a Saturday yard sale for love nor money. There wasn’t a stranger he knew, nor a story he wouldn’t share.

Personally, Eldon was quite a character and could light up a room. He was a true fabricator of metal and a true fabricator of tall tales, sometimes causing his wife, children, and grandchildren to become unhinged. Additionally, Eldon was a phenomenal welder (“Weldin’ Eldon”) and owned El’s Welding business. While logging, Clarence, Eldon, and others, built two beautiful homes for himself and his sister, Sherry.Įldon worked several years in the concrete industry in Hamilton, Montana. Clarence and Eldon later decided to settle in the Bitterroot Valley, Montana, where they built and operated a sawmill. After selling the Ready-Mix business, he traveled the US working with his father building boilers. Eldon owned and operated Black Hills Ready Mix in the mid-1970s. Through the grace of God, Eldon and Lila lived out their vows in true form until death did them part.Įldon was blessed to work with his father, Clarence Wolfe, for many years. Eldon adopted Lila’s daughter, Darcie Jean Nordtug. His future marriages were to Lila Jean Nordtug of Malta, Montana (First: March 1, 1980, Second: November 23, 1987, Third: July 15, 2005). They had two daughters, Angelique Ellen and Athena Marie. In the spring of 1969, he married Bobbie Ellen Foster of Newcastle, Wyoming. He then joined the Army National Guard where he was honored as outstanding in his training class and achieved the rank of Staff Sergeant. Eldon spent his childhood years in Newcastle, Wyoming and graduated from Newcastle High School on May 26, 1965. Eldon also wanted to be a testimony of what the effects of smoking can do and the anguish that came when he realized, too late after quitting smoking, that the cancer was already invading his body.Įldon was born on Octoto Clarence and Albena Wolfe in Sheridan, Wyoming.

Eldon wanted everyone to know the love of Jesus and shared his faith with everyone he knew. He was surrounded by his family as he lost the battle with lung cancer and joyously went home to be with Jesus. Eldon Francis Wolfe went to be with his Lord and Savior on May 25, 2019.
