at his home.
Funeral services for David L. Riedel will be held at 10:30 a.m. Monday,
April 30, at the United Church of Rowan, with Pastor Nancy Hofmeister
officiating. Burial will be in Graceland Cemetery near Rowan.
Visitation for David L. Riedel will be held from 5-7 p.m. today, Sunday,
April 29, at Dugger Funeral Home, 111 Luick's Lane South in Belmond and
one hour prior to services at the church.
David Lee, the son of Stanley and Selma Behnkendorf Riedel was born
Sept. 25, 1949, in Fort Dodge. He was baptized in LuVerne and later
confirmed at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Latimer. He attended
kindegarten through fourth grade in LuVerne. He then attended school in
Rowan and Belmond. David graduated from the Belmond High School in 1967.
As a young man, David scooped sidewalks and mowed yards in Rowan. These
jobs enabled him to buy his first Cushman Scooter. He also delivered the
Des Moines Register newspaper and helped Dave Benton with the garbage
business.
After graduating from high school, David joined a water tower painting
crew. Working in many dangerous situations high off the ground, this job
lasted ten days. Following that job, he worked for R.F. Aldrich
Construction crew. David attended North Iowa Area Community College in
Mason City and majored in elementary education. In 1969, David began
working with his father at Riedel Truck Sales. However, during this
employment, David believed he would be drafted into the U.S.
Army.
A severe automobile accident prevented his entry. After working for a
time at Rath Meat Packing in Waverly, he attended ICCC in Eagle Grove,
working on elementary education. In 1970, David began work with Eb Rietz
Rowan Lumber Company in Rowan and Grain and also helped load boxcars at
the elevator.
David was united in marriage to Barbara Finn on Dec. 4, 1971. David and
Barbara made their home their entire married life in and around Rowan.
David owned and operated a dump truck business, auto body business on
Highway 3, and helped Erv Halverson farm. In 1980, David began working
for the Jackson Jordan Railroad in Kansas. He would work for them until
1992. In 1992, he purchased a tree business from Rich Reed. He continued
with the tree cutting business until his death.
Dave and Barb, together raised four wonderful children: Tracy, Jackie,
Emily and Josh. They encountered many ups and downs with their children.
From a lawn mowing accident to kidney surgeries, the Riedels are
fighters that persevered. A perseverance that stayed with David right up
to his own death.
David is remembered for many things, but most of all for the passion he
had for the things he liked. Triumph Motorcycles, New York Yankees,
NASCAR driver No. 23 Jimmy Spencer, and most of all his loving family.
The big blue eyes full of mischief, the full head of silver-fox hair,
the Cheshire-cat grin, and the contagious unique chuckle, were David's
and will long be remembered. It is impossible to contain all that he
liked. It is his passion that will live on in his loving family.
David is survived by his wife, Barbara; children, Tracy Dorr of Rowan,
Jaclyn Wessels (Jason) of Belmond, Emily Riedel of Sac City, Josh Riedel
of Rowan; grandchildren, Kaitlyn Dorr, Madison and Tristan Wessels;
great- grandchild, Gage Dorr; parents, Stanley and Selma Riedel of
Rowan; sister, Marcia Burt (Randy) of Rowan; brothers, Larry Riedel
(Donna) of Rowan, Steven Riedel of Rowan and numerous other nieces,
nephews, cousins and friends.
He was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents and a
