Lowell James Messing
September 6, 1941 - January 21, 2021
Lowell James Messing, age 79, passed away January 21, 2021 at McLaren Port 
Huron Hospital.  Lowell was born September 6, 1941 in Sherman Township to 
the late Wilfred and Wanda (Skorka) Messing, the fourth of five sons.  The 
stories about those five boys and their countless adventures are endless.  
Lowell started his trucking career working for his father hauling milk at a 
very young age.  He married Dolores Mae Holdwick, the love of his life, in 
1960.  They were such a beautiful couple together.  He served in the US Army 
from1959 to 1962, part of that time stationed in Korea.  When he returned, 
he began farming and working for his father.  He eventually began his own 
trucking company, Woody Acres Trucking, working with his son, Kurt for 35 
years.  Lowell named his trucking company to honor his father, whose 
nickname was Woody.  Lowell also was one of the first in the area to own and 
operate a large tree moving machine.  He has transplanted many large trees 
all over the state.  He was very passionate about his work but he also loved 
the old country music, playing the accordian, but only to his grandchildren 
and back in the day, loved a good western.  If you did hear him laugh, it 
was surely a contagious laugh, especially when he would watch those old 
comedies on TV.  We will miss the old wise-wisdom, never afraid to give you 
his opinion, dad, brother, uncle, friend.

Lowell is survived by his three children: Lori (Paul) Maurer, Connie (Matt) 
Aymen and Kurt (Sheri) Messing all of Bad Axe, his grandchildren, Dr. Trevor 
(Jessica) Maurer of Bellfountain, Ohio, Travis Maurer of Bad Axe, Lisa Marie 
(Dr. George) Miller of Williamsburg, Michigan, Mark (Kasey) Aymen, Joey 
Aymen, Josh Aymen and Brooke Messing all of Bad Axe, step-granddaughters, 
Rachelle (Eric) Gordon, Royal Oak and Kaitlyn Dubey, Clarkston; Also 
surviving are 9 great-grandchildren and two step great-grandchildren; 
brother Dexter (Theresa) Messing, Cass City; Brother/Sisters-in-law: Grace 
Burkhard, Margaret Jurgess, Bernard Holdwick, Millie Kaufman and many nieces 
and nephews.  Lowell was preceded in death by his wife Dolores of more than 
52 years, his parents, Wilfred and Wanda and three brothers, Virgil, Donald 
& Kenneth Messing. Also predeceased are Brothers/Sisters in-laws: Louis & 
Lucy Moore, Delbert Burkhard, Patrick Jurgess, Violet Holdwick, Russ & Doris 
Bowers and Laverne Kaufman.  Cremation has taken place. A private memorial 
service will take place at a later date.  Published in Huron Daily Tribune
