Dick was born December 4, 1944 in Fairfield, Iowa the son of Eugene and Alice (Stewart) Daubenmier. He was united in marriage to Jo Ann (Timmons) Montague on February 6, 1998. With their blended family, Dick and Jo enjoyed nearly twenty-two years of marriage. Dick worked as a driver for ABF Freight System and was a member of Teamsters Local 238. He retired in 2002.
Dick was the jack-of-all-trades and a master jokester. He was a bit rough around the edges but had a heart of gold. Dick was the do-all handyman that built homes and he could fix anything. He loved his Harley Davidson motorcycles, his beer, and teasing people every chance he could get. Dick relished the outdoors. He grilled, hunted, fished, golfed, and spent a lot of time on the water boating. Dick also enjoyed quiet time with a crossword puzzle. He will be remembered lovingly as a diamond in the rough.
He is survived by his wife, Jo Daubenmier of Cedar Rapids; children: Dion Daubenmier of Cedar Rapids and Dana (Johnny) Linzy of Rhine, Georgia; step-children: Brown Joseph “B.J.” (Val) Montague and Leigh (Tim) Moore, all of Cedar Rapids; grandchildren, Derik Daubenmier, Tyler Daubenmier, Amanda Linzy, Alicia Linzy, Shelby Montague, and Peyton Montague; great-grandchildren, Brantley Daubenmier, Patience Daubenmier, and Charlotte Daubenmier; sister, Claire (Larry) Sharp of Cedar Rapids; many nieces and nephews, who he treasured.
Dick was preceded in death by his parents and sister, Judy Hanson.
Memorials may be directed to the family.
