Jeffery Lynn Swanson

Jeffery Lynn Swanson, 68, passed away on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, at his home in Albert Lea, MN, with his wife, Susan, by his side.

Jeff was born on November 17, 1957, to Norm and Pearl (Mattoon) Swanson in Britt, IA. He accepted Jesus into his life at the age of 14, graduated from Hayfield High School in 1976, and excelled in basketball at the University of Minnesota (Waseca). Basketball was a big part of his early life, playing with friends for many years. With Wendy, he raised his prides and joys: Tina, Sheri, Lynn, and Nick. They made him a Grandpa to 12. He loved taking the grandkids on adventures and for rides in the tractor, airplane, and the infamous magic carpet.

Jeff grew up farming with his Dad and spent his life devoted to the land, working with his sons, brothers, and his wife, Susan. Jeff and Susan were married on August 4, 2001, at their farm in Hayfield, MN. With her three children, Kelsey, Jo, and Jesse, they created their big family of 9. Together on the farm, they built a life grounded in teamwork and love.

Jeff lived passionately, embodying the adage: work hard, play hard. He was innovative, smart, and progressive with his farm business. Beyond the fields, he enjoyed camping, bowling, snowmobiling, softball, loud music, going fast, and many shenanigans. He winter-retired in AZ/CA and spent many of his greatest years on the golf course, taking home all the trophies. He took great pride in his home course, The Oaks, which he helped build.

He did not like being the center of attention, but his presence and the big way he lived life made that impossible. Everywhere he went, he made friends who became family. His laughs, wild stories, electric, loving, and adventurous spirit will be greatly missed. The endless memories, cherished by his family & friends about the man known as Swany, will never be forgotten in the places he called home: Albert Lea, Parker, and Hayfield.

He is survived by his wife, Susan (Johnson) Swanson; his children, Tina Krueger (Matthew), Sheri Prisby (Phillip), Lynn Swanson (Steph), Nick Swanson (Kelsey), Kelsey Duffy (Patrick), Jo Zubke (Justin), Jesse Zubke (Kayla); his grandchildren, Oslo, Jaxx, Rivers, Walter, Ryker, Adeline, Pierce, Sadie, Kendall, Aubrey, Barrett, Brody; his brothers, Randy (Carol), Craig (Diane), Mike (Wendy); and many friends.

Truman Philip Sogge

Truman Philip Sogge, of Pine Island, MN (formerly of Kasson, MN), was called to his eternal home in Heaven on Thursday, January 29, 2026.

He was born on December 4, 1931, in Kandiyohi County, MN, he was known for his love for the Lord, love for his church, incredible musical talent, true friendship, quick wit, mischievous wink, kindness to everyone, and most of all, his enduring devotion to and unconditional love for his family. Even those who knew him only a short time were impacted by his genuine humility and integrity. Granddaughter Shauna Van Buskirk recalled his sweet, non-judgmental nature, saying, “He was a man who loved and accepted people and was genuinely interested in all who crossed his path.”

As a boy, Truman endured the hardships of living in a big family during the Great Depression. The ninth-born of ten children, Truman learned to make faith a priority, work hard, and live honestly. Truman attended country school through the eighth grade and went to high school for six weeks, but he ultimately left school to work on the farm. He attended Morris Ag School (now University of Minnesota - Morris) for two years where he played in the orchestra and sang in the choir. Truman enlisted in the Army in 1951 and soon went overseas to fight as a soldier in the Korean War. Though he rarely spoke about his time in the war, he never spoke of the military honors he received. Unbeknownst to the family until after his passing, Truman was a decorated combat veteran, receiving the Korean Service Ribbon with 1 Bronze Service Star, United Nations Service Medal, National Defense Service Medal, and Combat Infantry Badge. After finishing his time in the service in August of ‘54, he came back to Spicer, MN and hauled grain for Green Lake Grass and Seed. He eventually moved south to Kasson and worked as a farmhand for Beryl Zwemke, a man he had worked for before going into the army. After waiting for 12 years for Beryl's daughter, he married the only love of his life, Helen “Sue” (Zwemke) Sogge, on April 12, 1963. Truman hauled cars and Sue was a school teacher. After living in several cities in the Midwest, he and Sue moved back to Kasson to run Zwemke Music, eventually making it a full-time piano restoration business. Truman also learned how to tune pianos and became a sought-after tuner in the area. Truman and Sue taught guitar lessons for many years as well. Truman also taught accordion, banjo, bass, fiddle, and even the steel guitar. Even in the weeks before his death, he would see people around town who knew who he was. We would hear, “Hey, Truman!” and very often it was a former student of his from the late 1970s or 1980s. There's no telling how many lives he impacted as a music instructor.

In 1974, Truman, along with his wife Sue (who played the bass), started the Sounds of Praise Quartet, a group that sang traditional hymns and old favorites in the southern gospel style. The Sounds of Praise became well-known throughout Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin, singing at churches, festivals, fairs, and other community events. Truman often spoke fondly of his time singing in the quartet and enjoyed the camaraderie he shared with the other members and their families.

Truman was also an active member at First Baptist Church in Kasson. He attended church regularly until he could no longer leave his assisted living facility due to his failing health. He served the church as a deacon and joyfully did countless special music numbers on Sunday mornings. Whether playing a solo on the violin, singing in an ensemble, or accompanying on the piano, Truman was asked often to share his musical gifts. He encouraged so many with his musical talent and willingness to bless others.

A dedicated father, Truman loved sharing his passion for music with his daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, creating lasting memories that they all cherish. Both of his daughters are active musicians and all of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren sing and enjoy music. This is just one of the family’s treasured legacies of Truman.

Truman is survived by his loving daughters, Heather (Troy Sr) Van Buskirk of Pine Island, MN, and Heidi (Brian) Brasher of Kasson, MN; his grandchildren, Mikayla (Levi) Schultz of Minneapolis, MN, Shauna Van Buskirk of Rochester, MN, Troy Jr (Rebekah) Van Buskirk of Rochester, MN, Elizabeth “Ellie” Brasher, Gibson Truman Brasher, and Judah Brasher of Kasson, MN; great-grandchildren Brynn Van Buskirk, Judd Truman Van Buskirk, Isabelle Schultz, and great-grandchild number four due in August 2026; over 20 beloved nieces and nephews, sister-in-law Faith Zwemke of Vadnais Heights, MN and brother-in-law Charlie Sinnwell of Kasson, MN.

He was preceded in death by his dear wife, Sue, and all of his siblings.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at 2:00 pm at the First Baptist Church, 304 4th St NW in Kasson, MN with a visitation beginning at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made in Truman's honor to the First Baptist Church of Kasson or to the family.

Blessed be his memory.

Lyle Verne Hoaglund

Lyle Verne Hoaglund, 85, of Mantorville, MN passed away on Saturday, January 10, 2026, at Mayo Clinic St. Mary’s Campus in Rochester, MN.

Lyle was born to Helen “Ocie” (Greenfield) and Joseph Hoaglund, the 7th of 10 children, on August 5th, 1940, in Red Wing, MN. Lyle’s two favorite sisters, Bette and Amy are the two remaining siblings.

He attended Montgomery High School, where he played high school sports and graduated in 1958.

In the summer of 1957, while cruising Central Avenue in Faribault, Lyle crossed paths with a beautiful young lady by the name of Theresa. After one date at Jewitt’s Point dance hall, it became obvious this was a match made in heaven if there ever was one. They were married in June of 1959. Lyle and Theresa were deeply in love and were together every day for 68 years. Before having children, Lyle and Theresa had heard that in California there were jobs paying up to $3 per hour. With that kind of money on the line, Lyle, together with his father-in-law Cootie and his brother-in-law Rollie, piled into a car and headed west. Upon arrival, Lyle walked into a power company and announced, “I’m from Minnesota and I am looking for work.” The reputation of the Minnesota work ethic was already a thing. He was put to work immediately, so he sent for Theresa who joined him via train. That was the beginning of Lyle’s long career in the power business. The first two kids arrived in California: in 1959 Kirk (Anita), and in 1960 Chris (Laurie). Eventually, Lyle and Theresa with two sons in tow, decided to return to their Minnesota roots. They had acquired a plush Volkswagen Beetle Convertible in Cali and drove that air-cooled 40hp automobile with one wheel trailer across the country like it was a walk in the park. With Lyle’s work ethic and experience he gained in California, he was immediately hired in Faribault at Northern States Power Company (now Xcel Energy). The kids kept showing up with Brenda (Bill Frame) in 1962 and Becky (Kevin Reith) in 1964. Lyle and Theresa and their ever-growing family relocated to Dodge Center in 1965 to follow Lyle’s career with NSP. Keith showed up in 1967, and shortly thereafter Lyle accepted a promotion to district foreman in Pine Island. Lyle was active in the Pine Island community and served on the city council. Under his administration, they successfully abolished the old center street parking on main street. Kim (Mike Serie), their youngest, hit the scene in 1971. The whole crew lived in a side-split home on the north edge of Pine Island, until a hobby farm came up for sale out on the river road. After relocating to the farm, Lyle tried hobby farming. He raised several head of beef cows and tried raising a few pigs.

NSP came calling with another promotion to a supervisory position around 1980 and the family moved back to Dodge Center. Kirk, Chris, and Brenda had already flown the coop. They moved into a new home on the north edge of Dodge Center and Becky, Keith, and Kim finished school in Dodge Center. Lyle accepted his final promotion to regional manager and relocated to Winona to finish out his career. After retirement, Lyle and Theresa moved back to the Mantorville/Berne area. Lyle and Keith got together and decided to peddle used cars in Dodge Center and started Center Auto Sales. Lyle enjoyed the car business, loved going to auctions and making deals.

Eventually, Lyle retired from the car business and started to help Theresa in Mantorville with Theresa’s Riverside Gifts. Lyle and Theresa have been in Mantorville for the last 20 years and both have been very involved in all things Mantorville. Lyle was on the city council and chaired the Marigold Days committee for years. Lyle beamed with pride when Theresa received the prestigious “Gem of Mantorville” award in 2025. He worked hard and played hard; he was an avid hunter and loved traveling the country with Tess in their RV.

Together, Lyle and Theresa are responsible for quite a group, and are proud to be grandparents of Kirk and Anita’s Erica and Max; Chris and Laurie’s Tony, Christie, Anne; Brenda and Bill’s Stephanie, Amanda, and Will; Becky and Kevin’s Leanne, Cassie, Lillian; Keith’s Macey (4-23-1989 to 8-7-2024), Tucker, and Melanie; Kim and Mike’s Kayla and Brady; and 18 great-grandkids with one in the hopper.

Lyle has left an amazing legacy, was extremely proud of his family, and was known in much of southern MN. His children can confirm, many, many times, and in all different locations, when introducing oneself, the question comes up, “are you related to Lyle?” This has happened in Florida, Nevada, and Guam just to name a few.

We are all extremely proud to say, “Yes, I am related to Lyle Hoaglund.”

He will be sorely missed by all that have interacted with him over the years, but no one will miss him more than Theresa and his amazing, loving family.

Lyle, welcome to God’s Country.

A funeral mass will be held at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, January 17, 2026, at Christ the King Catholic Church, 202 4th St NW in Byron, MN with Father David Medow officiating. Visitation will be held from 4:00-7:00 p.m. Friday, January 16, 2026, at Christ the King Catholic Church in Byron, MN and also one hour prior to his service on Saturday.
