Harold Kullot

Harold Thomas Kullot, 82, of Rochester, Minnesota, passed away on March 16, 2025, at St.

Mary's campus Mayo Clinic. Harold was born in Mankato, Minnesota on July 12, 1942, to Thomas and Magdalene (Latusek) Kullot. Harold grew up in the Mapleton, MN area, graduating from Mapleton High School in 1960. After high school, he began farming with his dad in Mapleton. In October 1965, Harold and his family moved to rural Eyota to purchase what became the Kullot family farm.

On January 6, 1966, Harold married Sharon (Ballard), with whom he shared 59 cherished years of marriage. Together, they enjoyed a fulfilling life sharing many memories with family and friends, including many winters spent in Arizona, a place they grew to love.

Harold had a passion for the outdoors, and he could often be found hunting, fishing, and snowmobiling when he wasn't farming. He was a fan of country western music, the Minnesota Twins, and the Minnesota Vikings. He enjoyed card games, spending time at the Eyota Sportsman's Club, casino visits, spending time with family and friends, traveling, and was a member of Holy Redeemer Church.

He is survived by his loving wife, Sharon; their four children: Julie (Gary) Bierbaum of Apple

Valley, Don (Dawn) Kullot of Spring Valley, Kris (Dirk) Bierbaum of Rochester, and Darin (Emily)
