Hamiota Feedlot said goodbye to Cory Nolan in November, and the following notice is a lightly edited version of the feedlot’s tribute.
Nolan began working with the feedlot in 2008. His passion for cattle and the industry led him to make countless contributions to Hamiota’s operation. His commitment, character and devotion meant that he was always there. He devoted himself by always showing up, no matter what — with his leadership and problem-solving skills, through every hurdle, challenge and solution.
He taught everyone so much and can never be replaced. But it was the motivation of his heart that made him “family” to everyone at the feedlot, past and present — his genuinely good heart, his clever, sarcastic humour (which got us through the toughest of days) and his sincere “presence” in our lives. We are heartbroken and grieving.

Cory, we will keep putting one foot in front of the other, like you always have, but we will walk with a limp without you. We express our deepest sympathies to his family and all his friends.
