Edwin O. Brubakken was born in Hillhead, SD to Ole Sr. and Gudrun (Smulan) Brubakken, he was one of nine children. He attended a one room schoolhouse through the 8th grade. Edwin worked as a ranch hand until being hired as a Body Mechanic at Thorpe Auto Co. On June 1, 1958 he married Joyce Helen McLaughlin. In partial retirement, he worked for Weber Body Shop before becoming a full-time grandfather, golfer, and coffee drinker. Edwin loved to converse with people, tell stories and jokes. He also loved to share his garden bounty with those he felt went the extra mile. It is this personality that allowed him to remain in his home until physical body life’s end, due to the repayment and generosity of community members that went the extra mile for him. We are so grateful for this community support.
