Drummond from the Canterbury high country passed away on December 11 after what his family described as a brief but brutal illness.
Drummond, who ran a Clydesdale horse stud on the station, was the Mid-Canterbury representative for the Federated Farmers High Country Industry Group.
On the farm's Facebook page, his wife Erin Cassie said his death was a massive shock.
"Not sure how we proceed without this one in a million mountain of a man beside me. But I know how lucky I have been to "do" life with a soul mate who completed me.
"It's been a wild ride but I take comfort that his "better to burn out than rust out" mantra ensured his life was certainly no dress rehearsal."
She said her husband's life would be celebrated on December 17 at his home.
It comes after the death of Chris Allen, who died after a workplace accident on his Ashburton farm last week.
