Ross Carl Habeck, of Wahkon, Minnesota, passed away on August 22, at his home with his family by his side.

Ross was born in Onamia, Minnesota to Walter and Gloria (Eklund) Habeck on November 8, 1958.  Ross attended Wahkon Elementary and graduated from Isle High School in 1977.  He enjoyed wrestling in high school and played football both in high school and in college. He resided in Isle all his life, except for the two years he attended college at the U of M Crookston, where he received his AA in Agriculture.

After college he started his logging business in 1979.  In May of 1993 he married the love of his life, Dawn Haggberg, at Faith Lutheran Church in Isle.  He started his excavation business in 1997.  That same year he and Dawn also had the opportunity to purchase his aunt and uncle's farm south of Isle, and the love of farming and raising beef cattle began for both of them.

Ross was a lifelong member of Trinity Lutheran Church of Isle.  He was an active member of the Isle Fire Department from 1985 until 2009.

He enjoyed hunting and annual fishing trips to the Lake of the Woods with family and friends.  He loved farming and everything that came along with it including cattle auctions, riding around the land, walking the timber sales, walking the dirt roads in search of agates, and finding four-leaf clovers.  He was a farmer at heart.

He is preceded in death by his parents Walter and Gloria Habeck, father-in-law Bud Haggberg, his nephews; Adam Habeck and Tom Leach and his brother Roy Habeck.
