According to his obituary, Hausfeld loved sharing his love of the outdoors with his wife of 12 years and their three sons.
“A country boy at heart, he loved the outdoors and wanted to share that passion with his family by taking them on camping and boating trips and teaching his sons to hunt and fish. He took care of their acreage and cattle, and always had a building project he was working on at home,” reads the obituary.
