Sidney Gerald Syverson, age 87, entered eternal rest peacefully at home on December 4, 2017.
He was born to Oscar and Anna Syverson on July 20, 1930 in Britton, South Dakota. He was raised on a farm east of Britton. He was baptized and confirmed at First Lutheran in Britton.

On March 7, 1953 he was united in marriage to Jeanette LaVaonne Mahlen at Fron Lutheran Church.
To this union four children were born (all having July birthdays). Pamela Kingston of Brighton, Colorado; Peggy Heittich (Neil) of Pierre, South Dakota; and an adopted daughter, Debbie Peasley of Pennsylvania.
He was preceded in death by loving wife of 58 years Jeanette, both sons Scott and Steven (Vickie), parents, one brother Howard and infant brother Charles.

Sidney and Jeanette owned and operated several bulk gasoline businesses in Colorado, South Dakota and Iowa.
He was a loving and devoted husband/father/grandfather/great-grandfather/great-great-grandfather. He was often referred to by many as Papa. He had a great sense of humor and baby blue eyes, and will be missed greatly by all those who knew him.
He is survived by daughters Peggy, Pamela and Debbie, daughter-in-law Vickie, 12 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren, 2 great-great-grandchildren.
