Warner B. "Butch" Halverson, 84, passed away on Sunday, October 4, 2020 at Wells Nature View Assisted Living, 601 E. 21st St., Marshfield. Warner was born on January 12, 1936 in Vesper to Walter and Myrtle (Baxter) Halverson. He graduated from Pittsville High School in 1953. In 1954, Warner enlisted in the Wisconsin Army National Guard and served on active duty during the Berlin Crisis from October 1961 until August 1962. The Halverson farm was Warner's life. He never married or had children. He poured his heart and soul into the land, buildings and the animals. Warner's grandfather founded the farm, located on North Rd in the town of Hansen about 20 miles southeast of Marshfield. Warner was the 3rd generation to raise cattle and grow crops on the farm. Besides his love for his cattle, Warner also loved his saw mill and was an excellent machinist and fabricator. Later in life, when he wasn't enjoying an episode of Bonanza or Gun Smoke, he liked to challenge himself with a jigsaw puzzle. He especially liked those with tractors or farm scenes on them. He spent hours working on them and had a real eye for them. Those that knew Warner well called him Butch. Butch was a quiet man with a soft heart and a gentle soul and was loved and will be missed by many. Warner is survived by one sister, Nancy Wellman of Oconomowoc and two brothers, George (Bonnie) Halverson and Glen (Florence) Halverson, both of Vesper. He is also survived by niece, Patti Rowher and nephews, John (Tammy) Halverson and Tim (Kathie) Halverson and several grand nieces and nephews. Warner is preceded in death by his parents.
