Douglas Paul Eiben
January 1, 1960 — April 22, 2020
Douglas Paul Eiben, 60, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, passed away due to cardiac arrest on Wednesday, April 22, 2020, at Mercy Medical Center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and he did not go out without a fight. A Celebration of Life Service and Gathering will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, August 8, 2020, at Baker Park Pavilion in Prairieburg, Iowa. Murdoch Funeral Home & Cremation Service in Marion is assisting the family.
Doug was the first baby born in Monticello, Iowa, on January 1, 1960, to Paul and Mary (Pillard) Eiben. He graduated from North Linn High School and briefly served in the Iowa Army National Guard. Doug, who had many nick names, worked for BHI as a radiation control worker. His grandson was his pride and joy. Doug enjoyed poker, junking, karaoke, fishing, hunting, and spending time with family and friends. He had a spunky attitude and loved telling his jokes and talking to anyone who would listen. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
He is survived by his significant other, DeeDee Robinson of Cedar Rapids; triplet daughters, Erin Eiben (Dallas) Norton of Anamosa, Alyssa Eiben (Jeremy Klenk) of Marion and Erica Eiben of Austin, Texas; son, Chris Stark of Cedar Rapids; grandson, Atlas Norton and one on the way; and his siblings, Paula (Randy) Plotz of Blairstown, Juanita Eiben of Mairon, Victoria Kircher of Marion, Faye Dudley (Todd Young) of Cedar Rapids, Colleen (Bernie) Eiben-Prokop of Cedar Rapids, and Greg Eiben (Bev Hansel) of Manchester.
Doug was preceded in death by his parents, grandson, Alistair; and the mother of his children, Rosemary Eiben.
From the words of Douglas, Love ya, Later.
