Obituary


Don John Faust, 62, passed away Tuesday, February 2, 1999 at his home in rural Britt, Iowa.

Don, the son of John William and Vera Cleo (Wright) Faust, was born in a farmhouse between Britt and Kanawha on September 29, 1936.

Don graduated from Britt High School in 1954, then went into the reserves.  Upon completing training, he returned home to farm.

On September 16, 1967, he married Juanita June Wirth at St. Patrick's Catholic Church of Britt.  They lived on the farm Don was born on until 1972, when they moved a quarter of a mile down the road to the original Faust home.

Don loved to farm and was an expert hog man.  "The Big German" loved to play cards, shoot pool, hunt, fish, and make people laugh.  We will always remember his as a kind-hearted man who would help anyone.

Don is survived by his wife Juanita; his two daughters Donita Faust and her husband, Robert Hollingworth of Des Moines and Shawn Faust of Dallas, Texas; his two sons, Troy Faust and Justin Faust of Britt; his brother Dean Faust and his wife, Carmine of Britt; his sister Jean Ann Paca and husband, Ray of Des Moines; many nieces, nephews, and friends.

Don was preceded in death by his father, John and mother, Cleo.
