Ashton Stovern

Ashton Stovern


Ashton Clark (Gillming) Stovern, 24, of Sidney died July 28, 2020. He was born Nov. 14, 1995, in Chadron, Neb. He grew up in small town life from Nebraska to Montana and loved everything about it. He loved hanging out with his cousins and friends in both Sidney and his occasional trips to Nebraska. He loved being out at the ranch with his horse, Outlaw. He was so excited to be driving truck again and even more ready for beet season to start. His personality always gave the right amount of spice. He always entered his parents home with a “Honey, I’m home, what are we watching now,” and never left without throwing one of his sassy “I love you’s” at his father. When Ashton wasn’t trucking or working with his horse, he surrounded himself with family and friends who were as close as family. He loved coyote “yote” hunting with his brother, riding and roping, and annoying his dad and siblings. His mother was his “ride or die,” she was his rock. He is survived by his parents, Michelle and Rob Stovern; sister, Shelby Stovern, brother Brok Stovern; special friends Amanda Berger and Sandra Goulette; and grandparents Jim and Terri Stovern of Wolf Point. Funeral services was held Tuesday, Aug. 4, at the Richland County Rodeo Arena in Sidney.
