Landon Heaton Farmer Wants A Wife Father Trent and Family

Landon Heaton father Trent Edward Heaton passed away last year on November 17, 2022. He was 65 years old.

The farmer recently shared a tribute video in memory of his late dad on Instagram. "You can't pick your dad, but if you could, I'd pick him every time," the rancher captioned the post.

He pinned Zac Brown Band's song My Old Man to the video and said he was a father, an outdoorsman, a grandfather, and the husband he aspires to be.

Born and raised in Alva, Trent studied at Alva High School and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Business from Northwestern Oklahoma State University in 1980.

He then went to work in the banking and oil sector in Oklahoma City. Heaton married Melissa Rennie in 1980 and moved to Ulysses, Kansas to help with the family's natural gas business.

The Heatons returned to Alva in 1991, and he took over the family ranching and farming business. 

Heaton enjoyed spending fun time with his grandchildren on the farm, watching them compete in sports, listening to classic rock music and concerts, and fishing with his family.

He loved football and was a lifelong fan of the Dallas Cowboys and Oklahoma State Cowboys.

Trent is survived by his loving wife Melissa, his three kids, Lance, Lauren, and Landon, and his three grandkids, Avyn, Asbrie, and Hutchison Heaton.

Landon picks Ashley R. and Ashley L. as his final two women in Episode 9 of Farmer Wants a Wife. The episode aired on May 3 on Fox.

In the previous episode titled "Is There Room for One More?" farmers went on their final dates with the women, they chose at the end of the bard dance in week seven in Tallahassee, FL.

In Oklahoma, Heaton takes Zoe on her first solo date. He spritzes himself with cologne and takes her to check the crops before the date. He then shows her some seeds before going to an ATV for lunch.

She tells the rancher she hasn't dated since her divorce. And although Heaton says she is gorgeous, they don't seem to have any chemistry. 

Surprisingly, Meghan returns to Hunter's homestead after her grandfather's funeral. The farmer is thrilled but the other ladies don't seem to be happy, after all, she was the front-runner.

At the end of the eighth episode, Hunter and Heaton are left to make their eliminations to get to the final two women.

Heaton had three hopefuls -Zoe, Ashley L., and Ashley R. He did tell Ashley R. that he was going to choose her as one of the people and going to meet his daughter. So a little bit of a decision was made in Episode 8.

In Episode 9, the rancher asks Zoe Weaver to leave with a heavy heart. "Unfortunately, I don't think we're at the same point in life," he said to her.
