Weβve worked with Paul for well over a decade, he was a great friend and someone we always looked forward to collaborating with, always sharing ideas and stories to better both our farms. We would visit OHC and he would visit our farm regularly throughout the years and it was always time we truly enjoyed. He was always so proud of STgenetics Ohio Heifer Center and the growth he led but even more of his team and was they worked towards every day. We are keeping his family and his team at OHC in our prayers and plan to enjoy a really great cigar in his honor ποΈπ€
It is with our deepest regrets that today we remember and honor the life of Paul Detwiler β a respected leader, mentor, colleague, and friend whose impact reached far beyond our organization.
As General Manager of the Ohio Heifer Center for over 15 years, Paul was the driving force, visionary, and steadfast hand behind the development and growth of one of the dairy industryβs leading operations. Through his undeniable passion and dedication, he helped build a program that has become a shining example of innovation, technology, and genetic advancement within the dairy industry.
But above all, Paul will be remembered for the way he led: with humility, authenticity, kindness, and genuine care for others. He was deeply respected by teammates, customers, and partners across the industry, leaving a legacy that will continue to inspire all of us.
We extend our sincere condolences to Paulβs family, Shelly, Jake, Luke, and his grandkids, his friends, coworkers, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy will live on through the countless people he mentored, the friendships he built, and the lasting impact he made on the dairy industry he loved so deeply.
Thank you, Paul for all you did for us. Your legacy will never be forgotten. π
