Donald D. Theesfeld, age 73, passed away October 14, 2022 in Coralville, Iowa.
A funeral service for Don is scheduled for Saturday, October 29th at 11 am at Gay and Ciha Funeral and Cremation Service (2720 Muscatine Ave., Iowa City). The family will receive guests at the funeral home from 10-11 am prior to the service. Don will be laid to rest with military honors at Oak Hill Cemetery in Coralville, IA.
Don was born March 18, 1949 in Galesburg, Illinois, the son of Dale and Lucille (Larson) Theesfeld. Following his service in Vietnam, Don worked for 34 years (retiring in 2007) as a Commodity Engineer at Caterpillar Inc. in Peoria, IL. The position allowed for him to travel all over the globe. In his retirement, Don worked tirelessly to support and honor his fellow veterans through the Vietnam Veterans of America Quad Cities Chapter 299. He also spent his time volunteering to support the veterans at the Iowa City VA hospital.
Don also enjoyed attending and watching baseball and football games. Moreover, Don loved his family deeply. His passing leaves a hole that is unfillable, but his memories and lessons continue to be carried on by all who love him.
Don’s family include his beloved wife of 53 years, Linda; daughter, Dr. Michelle (Dr. Brandon, O.D.) Stalzer; grandchildren, Ava Stalzer and Hudson Stalzer; siblings, Dan (Diane) Theesfeld, Dianna (Dave) Hanson and Dennis (Lori) Theesfeld. Sadly, Don is preceded in death by his parents, Dale and Lucille.
Memorial contributions are suggested to the Vietnam Veterans of America Quad Cities Chapter 299 (VVA Quad City Chapter 299, P.O. Box 6076, Rock Island, IL 61204-6076) or Iowa City Hospice (https://iowacityhospice.org/).
Please continue to keep Don’s family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
