Frank Larry Hayne was born October 26, 1951, in Fort Carson, CO 1951, to Frank and Catherine Hayne. After Frank Sr passed, Charles Schriver came into Catherine’s life. He raised and loved the Hayne children as his own. Larry grew up in the Sioux Falls and SW Minnesota area. He was an independent individual who left home at an early age. He pursued a successful construction and lathing career. He even earned his Master Lather certificate. Larry was also very passionate about karate, in which he earned his black belt. Larry became a father in 1971, followed by two more children in that same decade. He loved motorcycles, hunting, fishing, and working with his hands, making his own creations with wood and other various items. In his adult life, he became very active in raising, racing, and showing of pigeons. Larry was also a dog lover and had many dogs over the years. His favorite dog was Ozzy. Larry was also known for writing articles in the local newspaper about his religious views as he loved the Lord. Throughout his life, Larry suffered from a terrible mental illness. It was a very long hard road for him and his loved ones. Our family is so happy that he no longer struggles and is now unburdened with any illness and is finally at peace with his Lord and Savior.

Myron J. Krull, age 76, of Rock Rapids, IA, went to Heaven, Wednesday, May 17, 2023, doing what he loved to do near his childhood home, on a tractor.

Funeral Services will be held Monday, May 22, 2023, at First Reformed Church, in Rock Rapids, IA, at 10:30am. A private family burial will be held following the services.

Myron James Krull was born February 4, 1947, in Hull, IA, to Alvin and Henrietta (Korthals) Krull. He attended school in George and graduated in 1965. He went on to attend Nettleton College in Sioux Falls, SD, for a degree in business and accounting. Myron met his beloved wife, Penny Iwen on a blind date and they were married four months later, on August 31, 1968. Myron worked his way from bookkeeper to manager, to owner of the Edna Elevator for the better part of four decades, where he met many lifelong friends.

When he wasn’t working, Myron loved to play fast-pitch softball, with the Edna Elevator team, for many years. Always an outdoorsman, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, and trapping. Even after retiring from the elevator, he couldn’t stop working. He loved his cows, and filled his days caring for them, watching them from his recliner, and was always eager to tell you about them. He also had a love/hate relationship with the Minnesota Twins and Vikings.

Myron loved his wife and family and showed it through acts of service and beamed with pride when talking about them. He took the time to talk to everyone and had a contagious laugh when talking about his recent mishaps and adventures. We can only imagine what he had to say when he walked through Heaven’s gates and saw Jesus waiting for him.

Myron is survived by his wife, Penny; three children, Marc (Natalie Falkenberg) Krull, Greg (Shelly Kramer) Krull, and ChyAnne (Shawn) Huyser; twelve grandchildren, Taylor Krull, Matt Krull, Austin Krull, Dylann (Nick) Huyser-Willams, Brynn Krull, Jadyn Krull, Wyatt Krull, Jager Huyser, Laurel Krull, Tatum Huyser, Owen Krull, Chayse Huyser; and one great-grandchild, Jackson Krull.
