Don H. Chaffee
WIBAUX, Mont. Don H.
Chaffee, 59, of Wibaux, passed
away on Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2011,
at the Glendive Medical Center in
Glendive, Mont. In keeping with
Den's wishes, cremation has taken
place and a private family interment
will take place on his ranch north-
east of Wibaux.
Donald Hugh Chaffee was born
on April 5, 1952, in Beach, the son"
of Donald B. and Florence Lucille
(Zinda) Chaffee. He grew up on his
parents' ranch northeast of Wibaux,
where he attended Wibaux public
schools. Throughout high school,
Don was active in the local FFA
Chapter. While in high school, Don
excelled in track. He continues to
hold records he set at Wibaux High
School. Don was the salutatorian in
the class of 1970.
Following graduation, Don
attended Montana Tech in Butte,
where he majored in civil engineer-
ing. He would later attend Montana
State University in Bozeman where
he majored in statistics with a minor
in math. After his graduation from
MSU, Don moved to Helena, where
he worked for Montana
Employment Service as a statisti-
cian. He would eventfully take a job
with the National Farmers
Organization. While working for
the NFO, Don moved to Wolf Point.
It was there that he met Diane June
Shumway. Don and Diane were
married on Sept. 14, 1984. To this
union two daughters, Lauren and
Katelyn, were bom.
Don followed his dream and
with great passion returned to the
family ranch, where he worked with
his father. Eventually he was able to
fulfill his greatest achievement
when he purchased the Wood Ranch
along Beaver Creek northeast of
Wibaux. It was his desire and dedi-
cation to his ranch that made him a
good steward of his land. Don was
very proud of his accomplishments
he made while farming and ranch-
ing. It was with great pride when he
was appointed to the Montana
Wheat and Barley Committee. He
held this position until time spent
traveling would take him from his
daughters. His daughters were very
important to him. Don enjoyed tak-
ing them fishing at the pond on the
ranch and spending time with them
at the cabin he built in the pines at
Fort Peck. Don was proud to have
his nephew Craig Helvik join him
on the ranch along with Craig and
Nina's children. Cade and Ross,
whom he referred to as his "little
ranch hands."
No one ever had to ask Don for
help. If he knew you needed a hand
he was there. He gave and never
expected anything in return. His
family meant everything to him.
Those left to mourn his passing
are his two daughters, Lauren
(Edward, and his son James)
Anderson, Wibaux; and Katelyn
Chaffee, Glendive; his father,
Donald Chaffee, Wibaux; two sis-
ters, Kitty Knapkewicz, Beach; and
Sandy (Kim) Helvik, Wibaux" and
several nieces, nephews, aunts.
uncles and cotsins. Don is preceded
in death by his mother, Florence
Chaffee, a brother-in-law, Gerald
Knapkewicz, and his paternal and
maternal grandparents.
