Vern Heuer

It is with profound sadness that we announce that our beloved Vern Heuer passed away of a heart attack on May 11, 2023 in Bradenton, Florida. He lived every day to its fullest, surrounded by the family and friends he cared so much about. His life was filled with love and joy and passion for everything that he did. Vern Heuer was born on June 23, 1963 in St. Anthony Village to his loving parents LeRoy and Lorelei Heuer. As a child, he joined the Boy Scouts and later achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, with his dad serving as the troop leader. He loved going on road trips with his family to see the amazing beauty of our national parks. After graduating from St. Anthony Village High School, Vern moved to Alta, Utah to pursue his passion for mountain skiing in which he became an expert. He often described his time there as "some of the best years of my life". He married the love of his life, Nancy Moe, on January 26, 1991, and in 1995 they welcomed the joy of his life, Isabella Heuer. He loved them both with all his heart. Though Vern and Nancy divorced in 2004, they eventually reconciled, and they spent the last of Vern's years as companions. His family was the center of his world. He volunteer-coached girl's soccer at Hopkins High School and boy's football at St. Anthony Village Middle School/High School even though he didn't have a child playing. Vern was a very outgoing person, known for being a loyal and dependable friend to many. He could often be found keeping the party alive at Big Louie's. He loved music from playing the tuba in the high school marching band to helping his friends in the bands ARENA and later Hairball. On occasion, Vern would even take the stage and join ARENA in singing a few songs. Vern had a life-long interest in math and science that led to his widely appreciated skill for weather forecasting. Sometimes called "The Weather Man" he regularly made weather reports on Facebook. He loved playing golf at Tatum Ridge Golf Course in Florida and Columbia Golf Course in Minnesota, the latter of which he was a member of the Men's Club. Vern was passionate about his work. Aside from his time working in construction, he had a successful career as a computer programmer. He worked for multiple companies throughout his life including Unisys, Temp Works, and OshKosh Corp. In 2020, Vern moved to Florida to be close to his father and his brother. He enjoyed every minute of the warm weather and stunning beaches. He was truly authentic, incredibly kind and caring, very intelligent, and full of joy. His spirit will be watching over us all. Vern was preceded in death by his mother, Lorelei Heuer. He is survived by his child Isabella Heuer, his ex-wife Nancy Moe, his father LeRoy Heuer, his brother Wayne (Anne) Heuer, and his nephews Jeff Heuer, Travis Heuer, and Derek Heuer, his step-daughter Jenna Wollitz, and his many friends including Ted and Linda Bullock, Jackie McKlevey, and Blake Baldwin. We extend our deepest gratitude to all who have shown their support during this difficult time. Please join us in celebrating the great life of Vern A. Heuer. A memorial service will be held at Washburn McReavy Hillside Chapel, 2610 19th Ave. NE, Minneapolis, MN, on his 60th birthday, Friday, June 23, 2023 at 11 AM with visitation starting at 10 AM.
