Lynn Dale Haidle went to be with His Savior and Lord after a courageous battle with Alzheimer’s and cancer, surrounded by his wife, Bonnie of 50 years and his loving family. He was 72 years old.
He was born September 8, 1943, in Terry, Montana to his loving parents, Bill and Florence Haidle.Lynn grew up on the family farm near Fallon and graduated from Terry High School in 1961. He graduated from Bozeman with a degree in Ag Engineering.Lynn and Bonnie were married on June 25, 1966 in Glendive, Montana. They moved to Peoria, Illinois where Lynn took a job with Caterpillar Tractor Works. In 1967, they returned to the family farm and Lynn, along with his dad and brother took on the monumental task of establishing the first irrigation system on Fallon Flat which is still operating today. During that time, Lynn & Bonnie raised two sons, Jeff and Jerry.
Lynn loved his family, farming, golfing, skiing, and had a great sense of humor and wit. He lived his life to the fullest leaving an example of hard work, leadership in agriculture, never-ending love for his family, grace towards others and faith in the Lord. He will be greatly missed.
Lynn was preceded in death by his parents, Bill and Florence Haidle, his sister Ethel, and brother Irvin.
He is survived by his wife Bonnie, son Jeff (Renata) and grandchildren Connor and Tessa, son, Jerry (Niki) and grandson Carson all of Billings, sister Valda Jones (Lyle) of Billings, mother-in-law Iva Waldo (Wayne) of Glendive, sisters-in-law Marilyn Haidle (Irvin) of Billings, LaVonne Hoffer (Delbert) of Fallon, Sandi Waldo (Wade) of Bozeman and numerous nieces and nephews.

Tim Waldo says
I have many fond memories of going over to the farm from the Waldo place when I worked down there in the summer. Lynn was the easiest going guy and seemed calm during the ups and downs of farm life. He was very proud of his wife and two sons and the farm they had built. May the Lord hold him and the family close.

Dear Bonnie and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Lynn was such a nice, nice person. I enjoyed getting to know him (and you) over the years while farming the Sweeney fields. Lucky day for us when Lynn took over that operation.
You have my deepest sympathy.

My deepest sympathy to Lynn’s family. I worked with Lynn on the Prairie County Conservation District Board. He was always full of encouragement and had a positive attitude on everything, you could not ask for a better boss. To numerous to mention are the many accomplishments to the Conservation District, the State of Montana and the folks of Prairie County.

Jeff, (and family)
Though I didn’t know your father well, I can see his imprint upon your life as you carry his values and character – that part of him will live on in all of you – and Lynn will be with our heavenly Father forever. I’m grateful to have met him, always nice to swap stories with like-minded farmer/rancher folk. My sympathies to you all in this time and for the suffering you endured as this terrible disease slowly pulled him away.
Bill and Aileen Kickert says
Bonnie, Jeff, Jerry and families
Our prayers are with you all in this difficult time. Rest in the truth that Lynn is now rejoicing together with his Savior, looking forward to the day he will be joined by those that love the Lord. I knew Lynn to be a quiet, gentle man of the Lord, and I still remember when he finally believed in his singing voice enough to begin blessing us with it in church. So many good memories to hold on to! Thank you for those Lynn. You all will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers, and lean on the Lord during this time.
Ann Rittal says
Bonnie and family & Valda and her family
I remember him as having a nice singing voice. Always enjoyed hearing him and Bonnie sing at church. I believe the last time he sang was at my dad’s funeral. He did a great job! He is singing in heaven to our Lord Jesus!

Jim Zody says
Bonnie and family,
I was very saddened to hear of Lynn’s passing. Lynn and I were classmates at Dawson County Community College and then were roommates for a couple of years at Montana State University. I fondly remember our antelope hunting trips in the Fallon area and deer hunting in the Bozeman area. I still chuckle when I think about our packing out a very large buck tied across the front of his VW Beatle – it created quite a stir going down the main street of Bozeman. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Kolleen (Waldo) Forsyth says
Our sincere sympathies, Bonnie & family. I hope you find comfort as the days pass. Lynn sure had a great personality and it was interesting reading of his visionary farming practices. So sorry he is gone so close to your 50th anniversary.
