Victor Matthias Yeager (96) of Boyd, WI was called home to his heavenly father on Tuesday, September 21, 2021. He was born May 27, 1925 on the family farm in Boyd, to Frank and Pauline (Lechner) Yeager. He grew up in the Boyd area and attended Excelsior country school, a one room schoolhouse on Hwy D, before attending St. Joseph’s in Boyd. On July 29, 1978 he married the love of his life, Deborah Turcott at St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Turtle Lake, WI. Vic and Deb were blessed with 5 wonderful children, 4 daughters and one son.
Victor spent his life farming, raising dairy and beef cattle, as well as being a lifelong beekeeper in Boyd. He spent 17 years playing the bass drum with the Stanley Drum and Bugle Corp. Vic was an avid hunter; for many years during the fall, he would head to Montana to go elk hunting. If he didn't have an elk story to tell, he definitely had a story of mountain survival to share. He continued to hunt for the majority of his life and shared that passion with his children.
Vic particularly enjoyed traveling: with many trips out west, a few cruises, including a couple of trips to Alaska. His favorite was a trip to Rome to see the Pope at the Vatican. He was a member of All Saints Parish in Boyd, where he nourished his love for his religion, praying the rosary, and instilling that faith into his family. His greatest pride and joy was his family, or as he referred to them “his little poopers.'
