Arthur Bruno Weyrauch, age 59, of Wolf Point, MT went to be with the Lord on October 21, 2012 in McKenzie County, ND.
He was born on August 22, 1953 to Wallace “Sonny” and Verneice (Hanson) Weyrauch in Williston, ND. He grew up on a dairy farm South East of Ray, ND. This is where his love of horses began. He attended grade school there and graduated from Ray High School in 1971. He spent many summers growing up working on the family harvest crew starting out running Massey Super 92’s.
After graduation, he attended Billings Technical Institute where he studied mechanics. Art worked as a farm hand and an oil rigger for many years. He also spent many years in the trucking industry hauling cattle, produce, lumber, or oil rig equipment. He traveled many miles throughout the entire United States to the point his family would call him a “walking atlas”.
Art had a brief union with Teresa Tong, from which their son, Wayne, was born.
In 1981, Art met Connie Eggebrecht and they were married on June 26, 1981. They began their life together living in Wolf Point. Shortly after marrying Art, Connie and Wayne were blessed with three additions to their family, Jacob, Cassandra, and Jarod. Art loved spending time with his kids and especially his grandkids. They held a very special place in his heart.
He loved NASCAR, rodeos, spending time with his horses, and camping. He was a very avid fan of all high school sports; he often followed the Wolf Point Wolves all across Montana. He was honored with a start quilt by the Wolves’ boys’ basketball team. He also enjoyed hunting in the mountains and always returned home with great stories. Art was also a member of the Elks Lodge. He was very caring and willing to help others in any way he could. He had a big heart and his memories will be treasured by many. Art was currently working as a Field Representative for Power Fuels.
