Roll Call Tribute

Sidney Allen Mondin 

January 18, 1967 - December 8, 2025 

Sidney Allen Mondin was born January 18, 1967, in Seguin, Texas, to Hazel Elaine Bode and Kenneth “Tiny” Wayne Mondin. Sidney was the fourth and final baby born of the family. He passed away on December 8, 2025 in Conroe, Texas, at the age of 58.

Sidney grew up as the baby of the family, naturally entertaining everyone around him with infectious energy and getting away with more than his older siblings. He whizzed through elementary school, spelling and writing better than other kids his age due to his love of reading… the dictionary. In middle school, he made his debut as the MC for the talent show, where he graced the audience with a performance of Rhinestone Cowboy, complete with a fringe shirt and sequin pants, hand-sewn by his mom and sister Alison. In high school, Sidney played football, won class favorite awards, and was the teacher’s favorite – likely because of his sweet-talking. He was everyone’s best friend and would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need of anything. From the age of 9, Sidney was an active member of the 4-H organization, showing several species of animals and participating on grass-judging and livestock-judging teams through high school. He was part of the Guadalupe County 4-H Team, placing third in the Livestock Judging Contest at the 1982 State 4-H Roundup at Texas A&M University, going on to the National Finals in Denver, Colorado.

After high school graduation, he moved to College Station, Texas and attended Texas A&M to obtain a bachelor’s degree in animal science, setting himself up for a career in agriculture. While pursuing his love of agriculture, he met the love of his life, Mona Hewitt. They married in June 1989, beginning a 36-year unforgettable adventure.

After college graduation in December 1989, Sidney and Mona moved to La Grange, Texas, where he worked as the Fayette County Extension Agent. In May of 1990, their first daughter, Lauren, was born. Two years later, in April of 1992, their second daughter, Kori, was born. In 1992, he was offered a position with Tyson Foods as a Production Manager in Holdenville, Oklahoma, where he and Mona built a life together, bought some land, remodeled a house, bought more land, built a red barn house from the ground up, and raised their two daughters.

In 2006, a change of career from agriculture to the oil and gas industry moved the family to Bloomfield, New Mexico, where he worked as a Branch Manager for PECOFacet. The next stop on the adventure began with a move to Spring, Texas, in 2008, where he worked as an Outside Sales Representative with Waco Filters; a Drilling Fluids Engineer with Halliburton; a District Sales Manager with Pall Filter Specialists; an Area Sales Manager with Parker Hannifin; and finally a Regional Manager with Filter Resources.
