It has been a great honor to work with Paul throughout the years. His vision for new technology has made a huge impact on the dairy industry. Paul will forever be missed, but his legacy will continue to live on. May his family be consoled during this time.
It is with our deepest regrets that today we remember and honor the life of Paul Detwiler — 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 industry’s 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 Paul’s 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. đź’™
