Dack Joseph Vilhauer Heiser?s time on this earth was cut tragically short by an automobile accident on August 15, 2005. Dack was born November 26, 1986 in Hettinger, ND and was welcomed into this world by a loving family. He received the sacrament of baptism at St. Bonaventure?s Catholic Church in McIntosh, SD. Before moving to Baker, MT, Dack blessed his Grandparents and Aunt and Uncle with an immeasurable amount of cherished memories. Upon moving to Montana, many of Dack?s childhood memories included hunting, playing videogames and rough-housing with his brothers. He attended grade school in Baker and was involved in basketball, football, and swim team in middle school. He attended religious instruction at St. John?s Catholic Church and sealed his commitment of faith at confirmation. He had the opportunity to deepen his spirituality by attending (TEC) Teens Encounter Christ in March and desired for other teens to attend. He graduated with the Baker High School Class of 2005 and was excited to further his education at MSU in Bozeman this fall. Dack?s attributes were many including his soft-spoken manner, deep love for his family that he proudly displayed, kindness and compassion, and his emotional softness. From a young age on to adulthood, Dack wore many hats while working at the family owned businesses. Mature beyond his years, he was always capable of managing the next challenge. Welcoming Dack into heaven are his great grandparents Christ and Clara Vilhauer and Lawrence and Gertrude Kahl; and his grandmother, Sharon Stugelmeyer. Those blessed by having shared in his life are his parents CB and Laurie Heiser, brothers Chris, Curtis and Cody Heiser, all of Baker; grandparents Harvey and Beverly Vilhauer, Baker, aunt and uncle, Mark and Bobbie Jo Vilhauer and their daughter, Brodi of Miles City, aunt Candace Vilhauer of Sidney and her children Tanner Sander of Sidney, Tara Sander of Bismarck, ND and Trevor Sander of Baker, and uncle and aunt Kelly and Angela Heiser and their children Sara and Mike of Baker.
