Vernon was born on November 9, 1933, to John and Lydia (Miller) Herrmann in Dallas, South Dakota.

Vern met his wife in Millboro, SD after he asked her to dance. They were married on August 6, 1957, at St. Paul's Lutheran Church (south of Colome). They were married for over 66 years.

They lived on a ranch in Millboro, SD where they raised cattle and other livestock throughout the years until they retired. Vern loved playing music and could play a variety of instruments and was a championship winning fiddle player. He would keep a list of hundreds of song titles in his wallet that he would play at random. Vern was a member of the Bob Kenaston and The Country Tones band. He loved attending dances along with Marilyn at the Carlock and other dance halls, playing cards and tending to his beloved ranch near Millboro, SD.

Vern was a man of God attending church services at the former St Paul's Lutheran Church south of Colome, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Winner and most recently was a member of the Zion Lutheran Church in Colome.

He is survived by his sons, Rodney Herrmann (Sharon) of Winner and Kevin Herrmann (Laura) of Omaha; his grandson Micah Herrmann (Adam) of Sioux Falls; his granddaughters Grace Herrmann of Broomfield, CO, and Emma Herrmann of Omaha. He also leaves behind many beloved nieces, nephews, and friends.

He was preceded in death by his wife Marilyn, parents John and Lydia Herrmann, four brothers Erwin, Harold, Robert, and Walter. Three sisters, Gladys Rajewich, Katherine Denny, and Marie Palmer.

He will be missed dearly by friends and family but there will be a little more Bluegrass Music in Heaven.
