Darwin Eugene Ziegler
1949-2016
Darwin Eugene Ziegler, age 67 of Wahkon, Minnesota, formerly of the Lyle/Austin area, died Saturday, October 8, 2016 at his home.
Darwin was born August 8, 1949, at Mitchell County Hospital in Osage, Iowa to Donald and Dona Ziegler of Stacyville, Iowa. He was baptized and confirmed at Union Presbyterian Church in rural Stacyville. After his 1967 graduation from Lyle High School, Darwin served his country for four years in the U.S. Navy.
He married Kaye Ator and the couple had two children. They later divorced. Darwin made his living as a Quality Control Engineer for Owatonna Tool Company until his retirement.
After retirement, he operated a consulting business and delivered motor homes throughout the U.S. for Winnebago.
