Guttenberg- Dustin Lee Eglseder was born in Guttenberg, Iowa, on April 18, 1985, to John and Rose Eglseder. On Wednesday, July 16, 2008, Dustin passed away at home surrounded by his family after a long courageous battle with cancer.

Dustin attended Guttenberg Elementary School and later Clayton Ridge High School in Guttenberg. Dustin was active in many sports, such as football, baseball, soccer and basketball, as well as a member of the choir. After graduation, Dustin moved to Cedar Rapids, attended Kirkwood Community College and worked at RuffaloCody. He later attended Mount Mercy College. Dustin was a devoted Chicago Cubs fan. He will go down in history as being the first ever fan to sing "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" at Wrigley Field during the seventh inning stretch after winning a contest last summer. He enjoyed hunting with the guys, especially duck hunting. On the weekends during the summer you could find him back in Guttenberg, on the river, with his buddies. Some of his other interests included UNI basketball and his Chevy Silverado.
