Monte graduated from Hennessey High (Class of ‘72), then attended Oklahoma State University, followed by schooling at Northwestern in Alva, Oklahoma, while also working on the family ranch with his father. After completing two years of study in college, he returned to the Hennessey (Lacey) community to join his father fulltime in the family farm and ranch program. Monte had a special love for horses and cattle. Monte, his wife and daughters sacrificed throughout the years to not only continue his dad’s legacy but also to build a legacy for himself. He loved spending any spare time with his family and looked forward to family gatherings often. He also enjoyed hunting and helping provide an opportunity for others to participate in the sport. Monte continued to farm in the Hennessey (Lacey) community until his passing.
