He was the oldest of two boys. At age three, his parents purchased a farm north of Strang, two miles west of where they had been living. Delwin lived on that farm until the end of November 2023, when he and Sondra moved to their new home in Geneva. Though he was initially anxious about leaving the farm, he transitioned well to town life, especially knowing their niece, Taylor, and her family had moved to the farmstead, keeping it in the family. Delwin attended Geneva grade school and high school, graduating with the Class of 1968. He went on to attend the University of Nebraska - Lincoln, earning an agricultural degree in 1972. After college, Delwin returned to the farm, where he managed a cow/calf herd, raised grain crops, and ran a large hog confinement operation with his father and brother, Delton. Together, the brothers owned and operated 4M Farms until their retirement in 2019. Following college, he also served in the Army National Guard of Nebraska enlisting on November 16, 1972 and receiving an honorable discharge on May 29, 1978.Delwin held deep respect for those who served on the front lines and carried a heavy heart for those who gave their lives. On December 6, 1980 Delwin married Sondra (Houck) Myers at the Geneva United Methodist Church. They were blessed with two daughters, Alicia Lynn Dawn and Andrea Kay Rochelle. From an early age into his 60’s, Delwin loved playing baseball and softball. Typically playing at second base or shortstop, he was quick, competitive, and played for Strang, Geneva and intramurals at the University. And boy could he run. If you were on base ahead of him, you’d better hustle - he just might pass you! He enjoyed coaching sports as much as playing, spending countless hours coaching youth teams, including his daughters’ teams, and catching for Andrea as she practiced pitching. After being diagnosed withParkinson’s disease, he accepted Alicia’s challenge to run a half marathon in Miami to raise funds for Parkinson’s research. He trained, completed the race, and crossed the finish line with family cheering him on. Delwin also enjoyed a trip to Ireland, a Caribbean cruise, and many family adventures. He spent winters welding for Feedlot Fencing in Bruning alongside his brother-in-law, Doug Bruning. He took pride in his lawn, enjoyed fixing things, and always kept his surroundings in good order. Faith and church were cornerstones of his life. He served on numerous committees, was Sunday School Superintendent, directed the junior high choir, sang solos and duets (including many with Alicia), and was a member of both the church choir and community groups. He sang for countless funerals, his daughters’ weddings, his own wedding, and directed the church Christmas programs for 13 years - complete with props and backdrops he built after harvest, with the help of family and church members. Two of Delwin’s greatest accomplishments were family and farming. He loved being with his family and cherished working side-by-side with Sondra on projects around the farm and house. But the true high point of his life came when he became known as “Pa”. He was so proud of his grandsons, Daniel and Jacob, and was eagerly awaiting the arrival of his granddaughter, Kinley, whom he sadly missed meeting by just a few days. He also cherished working alongside his brother and best friend, Delton for over 50 years. Together they built a legacy of efficient work, healthy crops, well-maintained equipment, and faithful stewardship of the land God entrusted to them. Delwin was preceded in death by his parents, his father-in-law Earl Houck, sister-in-law, Janelle Bruning, and his brother-in-law, Scott Houck. He is survived by his wife, Sondra of Geneva; his daughters Alicia Chavez (husband Jimmy) and their newborn daughter, Kinley Jaymes Chavez of Omaha, Nebraska, and Andrea Seggerman (husband Nate) and their sons, Daniel Mark Andrew Seggerman and Jacob John Timothy Seggerman of Hickman, Nebraska; his brother, Delton Myers of Geneva, Nebraska; and his mother-in-law, Patricia Houck Hobbs of Fairview Manor assisted living in Fairmont, Nebraska. He is also survived by his sister-in-law, Jody (Tim) Houck Alfs of Shickley, and brother-in-law, Doug Bruning of Bruning: nieces Michelle (Jason) Paulk and daughters, Catie and Skylar of Lincoln, Maggie (Justin) Jiskra, and daughters, Emma and Ruby of Lincoln, Taylor (Dylan) Lauenstein, and children Mason and Zoey of Strang, and Jennifer (Louis) Kishkunas and children Kate and Jack of Alexandria, Virginia who recently relocated to Ankara,Turkey for the next few years. Nephews include Ross (Morgan) Houck and daughter Harper of Strang, and Shane (Jill) Myers, of Lincoln, as well as many more loving relatives and a host of dear friends.
