James “Jim” Kedrowski was born on February 13, 1935 in Parker Township, Morrison County, Minnesota to the late John and Bessie (Vavra) Kedrowski. He attended a one room school in Culdrum Township for grades 1-6. Jim walked 2 miles to school from the farm where he was born. He worked with his Dad and brothers on the farm and in 1960 he bought his own farm next to the home farm. He had lived on his farm for 64 years. His passion was farming, that was his life and love. Jim also enjoyed hunting, fishing, eating out and watching TV. After retirement, he continued living on his farm and watching all the farmers around the community, enjoying the crops and animals. He milked cows since he was a boy and loved putting crops in the ground. When he had to sell his cows and beef cattle, he said that was the toughest decision he ever had to make. Then he just did crop farming until his health started to fail.
Jim leaves behind his 2 siblings, Joanie (Dave) Pearson of Pillager, MN and Lawrence (Karen Boeckmann) Kedrowski of St. Augusta, MN; as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Jim was preceded in death by his parents John and Bessie Kedrowski; sisters, Evelyn and Geraldine; brothers, Albert, John, Jr., Paul; nephew, Alan and cousins.
Jim, you will be missed, “Rest in Peace Brother”, until we meet again.
