Jason Kussman

Jason David Kussman, 46, died peacefully in his sleep on Sept. 20, at his home in Hardy.

Jason was born on June 27, 1975, in Hastings to David Earl Kussman and Deborah (Helms) Kussman. He graduated from high school in Belleville in 1993. He was united in marriage to Shannon Stacy Patterson on Dec. 23, 1999, in Nelson. To this union three children were born, Haley, Brice and Brent.

Jason worked most of his life farming and enjoyed putting up hay. He did custom swathing and baling for numerous farmers in the area. He also hauled scrap iron and recently had been

pulling campers with his wife across the United States for Synergy RV Transport out of Goshan, Ind.

Jason was the most easy going and kind person you'll ever meet. He enjoyed time with his family, especially the children as they all loved him dearly. As much as he would hate to admit it, he loved helping out with Haley's animal addiction and helping the boys with their numerous pickup projects.

He liked embarrassing his wife and children with his amazing dance moves and singing (especially when their friends were present). He seldom raised his voice, but could be heard hollering "women" when referring to his wife.

Jason is survived by his parents David Kussman of Hardy; Jim and Deborah Andreasen of Superior; his wife, Shannon; children, Haley Kussman and boyfriend, Bradye Wagner of Mankato, Brice Kussman of Hardy and girlfriend, Mattie Volker, and Brent Kussman of the home; sisters, Jennifer Simpkins and husband, Kevin, of Superior and Justine Kussman of Jansen; brother, Josh Kussman, and wife, Amber, of Superior; in-laws, Gerald and Linda Patterson of Grand Island, Karmelle and husband, Scott, of Stockton, Calif., Shane Patterson and Lindsey of Catheys Valley, Calif., and Kelli Patterson of Hastings; nephews, Stetsen Rempe, Jaeten, Kaesin and Kannin Ellwanger, Tyler Simpkins and Garrett Corn and his son, Hudson; nieces, Reagan Simpkins, Gracie and Miya Kussman, Shyann, Kayla and Heely Patterson; and a host of other family and friends.
