The 52-year-old Waupun, WI man whose body was recovered from a grain silo at Didion Milling has been identified, reports Channel 3000.
Randal Rote was found dead December 8 after the employee was reported missing that morning in Cambria, WI. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has launched another investigation at Didion Milling as a result.
Rote grew up in Madison, WI, and graduated from Monona Grove High School in 1986, where he was an avid football player and wrestler.
In 1986, he met his future wife, Linda M. Hoffman, while attending UW-Platteville and obtaining his B.S. in technical agriculture in 1990.
Rote enjoyed being a mentor for girls’ softball and participating in rodeo events with his brother and family. He lived in El Paso, IL for 18 years, where he raised his family and made lifelong friends before moving back to Wisconsin in December 2018.
He is survived by his wife, Linda, his three children and his grandson, Cohen.
