Thad had a passion for farming and raising cattle, a life that he loved! He enjoyed helping the younger generation with show cattle. He would, often, socialize with a cup of coffee or his favorite drink! A big Iowa State fan, he, also, enjoyed having anything to do with Case I-H, hunting, and fishing. An active member of the Cattlemen’s Association, he, often, worked behind the grill at various events throughout the area. Moreover, he loved his family and friends and the time he spent with them. Undoubtedly, he will be, dearly, missed by all who knew and loved him.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents and his brother, Bret Evan Josten, in 1971 as well as by many other loved ones.
