Von Jurjens of Eustis, Nebraska passed away last night. He pulled a diesel John Deere 4055 LSS in the surrounding area for many years. Von will be missed greatly on the circuts next year.
One of my fondest pulling memories was Von winning the LSS class at the Nebraska State Fair in 1996. The usually stoic Jurjens, couldn't hide his smile all afternoon. Greg |

Growing up pulling around Von I learned alot from him, watching how he made great passes all the time and put on a great show. His family was great supporters of his pulling team and would always be at the pulls. Truely a legend in is own time.

Very sorry to hear this. I knew Von for many years from back when he pulled an A-C 190. Thoughts and prayers from the Ground family. |

I came across this website last night while trying to find comfort in watching old videos of my dad and his tractor on the internet. What a glorious surprise and very therapeutic to hear such wonderful things about our dad. We just thought the world of him, and it's so reassuring to hear that his colleagues respected him just as much. He had such a passion for tractor pulls. I'm so grateful for your kind words and I will print everything to pass along to my mom.
Thank you, Janisha (Von's oldest daughter) |

What a truly wonderful post by a daughter that loved and respected her father greatly. It’s so nice to hear that Janisha Ruda found comfort in the kind words from Von Jurjens friends and fellow competitors. God Bless Dick Morgan www.PULLOFF.com Independent Pulling News |
