Toby Iverson

Toby Justin Iverson was born on December 8, 1973 at Redwood Falls, MN to Glen and Joan (Lessman) Iverson. Toby passed away due to results of a vehicle accident on April 24, 2015. He was a lifetime member of the Old Westbrook Lutheran Church, rural Westbrook where he was baptized and confirmed. Toby attended school at Lamberton, graduating in 1992 from the Lamberton High School. The day after graduation he flew to Texas and hooked up with a custom wheat harvest crew. The harvesting run became a part of his summers for several years. His love for the land and nature proved to be a valuable part of his life as he traveled from Texas to Canada. He did find time to attend Southeast Technical College in Sioux Falls, learning all about diesel engines and also drove over-the-road truck through many states. From the time Toby could talk he was going to be a farmer and that dream was accomplished as God entrusted the land to his care and he became a successful farmer. Toby was always up for a challenge and wasn't afraid to try something new in his farming career. His family and friends were very important to him and if you were fortunate to having known him you were more than likely remembered by his impromptu visits or phone calls. His yearly snowmobile trips out west with his cousins and friends brought much joy to his life. He was a very proud uncle to his three nephews and three nieces. Toby is survived by his parents, Glen and Joan Iverson of Lamberton, MN; two sisters, Jody (Paul) Hintze of Lakefield, MN and Betsy (Brent) Johnson of Madelia, MN. His nephews and nieces: Dawson Iverson of Storden, MN, Grace Iverson, Henry Hintze and Hattie Hintze of Lakefield, MN and Allison Johnson and Andrew Johnson of Madelia, MN. Also surviving are his grandmother, Edna Lessman, of Tracy, MN; Aunt Glenda Lessman of Maple Plain, MN; Aunt/Uncle Ellen (Ken) Arnsdorf of Jeffers, MN; Uncle/Aunt Kern (Shirley) Iverson of Lamberton; Uncle Bruce Iverson of Pipestone, MN. His good friend, Chuck (Holly) Martinson and family of Kremmling, CO; his cousins: Joyelle (Brad) Kennedy and family of Sidney, NE; Josh (Jenny) Lessman and family of Detroit Lakes, MN; John (Dawn) Lessman and family of Sidney, NE; Joe Iverson of Worthington, MN; Ed Iverson of Lamberton, MN; Tony (Angie) Iverson and family of Currie, MN and Esther Iverson of Sioux Falls, SD, and many, many other relatives and friends.
