Ashlyn B. Buelow
May 28 1998 - Aug 16 2011
Ashlyn B. Buelow

Funeral services for Ashlyn Beth Buelow, age 13, of Castlewood, SD, will be at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, August 20, 2011, at the Castlewood High School gymnasium in Castlewood.  Rev. Bill Hamill will officiate.  Music will be provided by Karen Lund as organist with Pastor Steve and Katherine Ferguson and Pastor Jim and Peggy Biswell as vocalists. Visitation will be on Friday from 4 to 7 p.m. at the American Lutheran Church in Castlewood.



 



Burial will be at the Castlewood Cemetery in Castlewood.  Honorary pallbearers will be: the Castlewood Class of 2016, the girls’ basketball team, and Ashlyn’s rodeo friends.  Active pallbearers will be: Kenzi Olsen, Grant Olsen, Jeff Neuendorf, Brad Gisselbeck, Tony Vandersnick, Jay Schmidt, and Dan Haug.



 



Ashlyn Beth Buelow went to be with her Savior, Jesus, on Tuesday, August 16th, 2011, as a result of an accident.  Ashlyn was born on May 28, 1998, at Watertown, SD, to Christopher and Shannon (DeWitt) Buelow.  She was a beautiful young woman whose gentle strength, sense of humor, and giving spirit were a joy to all who knew her. 



Ashlyn would have been an 8th grader at Castlewood this fall.  She was active in school activities including girls’ basketball, volleyball, track, and band.  Throughout her school years, Ashlyn earned Honor Roll of Excellency status, won the Presidential Academic Award, and was named Student of the Quarter.  She recently won first place in the science fair.  Ashlyn took great pride in being a member of the Castlewood Warrior basketball team.  She was an inspiration to the teammates she played ball with and to the varsity players she served as student manager.  Winning the 2010 State B Basketball Championship was one of the highlights of Ashlyn’s life.



4-H horse project and being a part of the Hamlin County 4-H Rodeo Club and Rough Riders Club were a big part of Ashlyn’s life.  This July, Ashlyn won Grand Champion in pole bending at the State 4-H Horse Show and qualified for the upcoming State Finals 4-H Rodeo.  Ashlyn also won multiple Grand Champion buckles with her partner, Twister.  Ashlyn was a member of Hamlin County 4-H Shooting Sports.  Ashlyn holds the record at the state level for rapid fire air pistol and won first place at the SD State 4-H Competition in bulls-eye with air pistol.



Ashlyn was a member of the American Lutheran Church in Castlewood, attended confirmation, and was active in the Castlewood Youth Group.  Her love for Jesus was evidenced in her humble, loving, and joyful heart. 



Ashlyn loved watching the Miami Heat play and Jeff Gordon race.  The Colts were her favorite NFL team. Ashlyn really enjoyed sharing this love of sports with her family and friends. 



Ashlyn was a hard worker but liked to have fun.  She loved her sister, Camryn, and they spent every day together doing chores, riding horse, and just hanging out.  Ashlyn wore blue and gold with pride- loved the Warriors and SDSU Jacks!  She dreamed of playing basketball at SDSU and worked hard on her goals.  Whether shooting around, playing one-on-one in the barn, or going to open gym, Ashlyn loved to play basketball.  She enjoyed fishing with her dad, shooting birds around the ranch, and being her mom and dad’s right hand girl.  Ashlyn had a knack for making people smile and a thoughtful way of remembering everyone with a hug or one of her heartmade presents.  To those who knew and loved her, we would say her life was too short; but, in reality, in her thirteen years, she lived her life big and with meaning.  Ashlyn made a difference. 



Ashlyn Beth Buelow is a gift.  Those grateful for sharing her life are her parents, Christopher and Shannon (DeWitt) Buelow; her sister, Camryn; maternal grandparents, Willis and Cheryl DeWitt; paternal grandparents, Alan and Jeannie Buelow and Vern and Lori Mosser; aunt, Shawn Olsen, and cousins, McKenzie and Grant Olsen; aunt, Lesly Block; great uncle, Greg and Karolyn Skoglund; and all of her many close friends.



She was preceded in death by her paternal grandmother, Linda Schultz; maternal great-grandparents, Grant and Betty Skoglund, and Willis, Sr. and Helen DeWitt; and paternal great-grandparents, Arnold and Olga Buelow and Les and Esther Schultz.

Shannon-you may not remember me, but I called on you and Dr. Feeney at the old clinic. I remember you telling stories of your little girls and I appreciated them so much as I did not have children at the time. You loved those girls so much, and if I remember correctly, left your job to spend more time with them. I read the story about Ashly in Aug, but did not make the connection until today. Dr. Feeney shared your loss with me. I am so sorry. I can't imagine the weight of sadness you al

Shannon - your message at the service pulled at heart strings I didn't know I had and is definitely an inspiration - thank you for sharing.

I will never forget one of my first trips to Watertown about 10 years ago, and visiting your house with Ashlyn cuddling up with her long beautiful dark hair, and showing me pictures of the big perch that she and Daddy caught. She is such a special girl, that we loved dearly and will miss beyond words. She will be watching over you and waiting for the day that we can all join

Markus was so upset at this tragedy and said "Why does God take all the sweet people from us and not the rotten ones that should die?". Sarah responded "Markus, God knew us before we were born, our lives are in his book. We cannot change anything that happens, it is the Lord's word and it is His work.".....I don't have anything to add to that other than faith will get you through this and know that you have a very special angel looking out for you.....Our condolances at your time of sorr

I feel so blessed to have known Ash and will miss her deeply. Please let me know if there is anything that I can possibly do to help you now and in the future. I will continue to pray for you to have the strength to get through this.

Chris, Shannan, Camryn, and family......
Nobody ever has reasons or explanations as to why these things happen and there are no words that can ease the pain. Just remember that your precious Ashlyn will forever be gazing down on you and guiding you through life. You are now blessed with your own Guardian Angel, Ashlyn. May your love guide you through this and help you find strength.......
Love, Cory, Katie, Kolby, and Chloe Ribstein

My sympathy goes out to your family as you go through what no parent should ever have endure. My nephew Trent Phillips is one of Ashlyn's classmates. I know Trent along with the Castlewood community are heartbroken.
I will keep you in my daily prayers that god will give you strength.

My deepest sympathy goes out to you Chris, Shannon, Camryn, and the rest of your family! This is such an unimaginable tragedy & I know we don't have any answers for why this had to happen but God's plan for Ashlyn must have been way bigger than the plan we had for her here on Earth. We are here for you all anytime you need to cry, talk, or simply just sit in silence. Whatever you need, know that I and the rest of the community are willing to do whatever it takes to help see you through this di
