- Herbert E. Eskildsen, 84, of Helena, passed away unexpectedly on April 23rd with his devoted Wife, Son and other family members at his side.
Herb was born in Stambaugh, Michigan to Anna and Alfred Eskildsen on August 6, 1930. His parents immigrated from Denmark, Herb was very proud of his Danish heritage. He attended the Stambaugh Public School System and graduated in 1948 enlisting in the United States Air Force directly after graduation, serving his country proudly for 20 plus years. Herb married Jenny Fast in July 1960. They adopted a son, Max, while stationed at Goose Bay, Labrador in 1963, soon after the family was transferred to Malmstrom AFB. After retirement from the Air Force, Herb completed his degrees in Biology and Education from the University of Great Falls and shortly after moved the family to Canyon Creek. Herb attended Carroll College to obtain his teaching certificate, he then taught at the Canyon Creek Country School grades 1-6 in 1973-74. Herb decided to devote his time to working his ranch full time and embarked on a long, rewarding career of ranching.
Herb married the love of his life Charlotte in 1994 in beautiful Breckenridge, Co. It was the beginning of an amazing 20 years of love, laughter, caring and sharing a deep faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Herb was an active member of the church where he taught a class "Characters of the Bible". He enjoyed hunting, fishing, golf, attending Carol College Football games, and watching his Denver Bronco's and Detroit Tigers on TV. Some of his most cherished memories come from the hunting camp (Jackson House) that his brothers, Son and close friends built by hand and spent many years enjoying together. They also had many great times and tall tales told at the Candy Store Camp. He will also miss his daily meeting for coffee with Ed, brother-in-law and dear friend, but mostly all the cherished moments with "His Honey", Charlotte.
Herb is preceded in death by his parents, Alfred and Anna Eskildsen, 20 siblings, a son Rick and Grandson Brady.
Herb is survived by his loving wife Charlotte of Helena, Son Max (Ellen) of Marysville, Son Doug of Alabama, Daughters Deena, Debbie, Robyn (Bill), Rayna (Harrison) and son Lance; Grandchildren Kelsey, Derek, Brandi, David, Logan, Joe, Temo, Josh, Hanna, River and Koda; three great grandchildren Keegan, Danaka, and Lilyannah; also numerous nieces, nephews and so many cherished friends. Herb never met anyone who wasn't a friend and was everyone's favorite Uncle Herb.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to St. Peter's Episcopal Church memorial fund or a charity of the donor's choice.
A memorial service is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. Friday, May 1, 2015 at St. Peter's Episcopal Cathedral, 511 N. Park Ave., with Dean Heidi Kinner officiating. An Inurnment will follow the service in the columbarium niche of the church. A reception will follow the Inurnment at 5:00 p.m. at the Great Northern, 835 Great Northern Blvd.
"Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I've found that peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch,
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free."
