John M. Hale, age 30, of Greenfield, Iowa, and formerly of Sioux Rapids, Iowa, died on Saturday, March 23, 2019, at Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines, Iowa.

Afterwards, he drove truck for Sickles Trucking.

John had a variety of interests including racing, fishing, participating in hockey and football, and bowling. He, also, enjoyed camping, doing carpentry work, and acting as a motor head. He, always, ready to pitch and in lend a helping hand, he kept a positive attitude throughout his life journey. Very particular about his semi-truck, he kept it spotless. He, always, knew if someone else had driven it. He will be, deeply, missed by all who knew and loved him.
