September 25, 1954 – October 30, 2024
Delmar Meyer of Meriden, IA passed away on October 30, 2024, in his home, after a courageous year-long battle with cancer. Burial was November 6 at the Timber Lake Cemetery.
Delmar Meyer was born on September 25, 1954, to Carl and Adelaide (Kuni) Meyer at Timber Lake. He received his education at Timber Lake public school until 1968 when the family moved to Cleghorn, IA. He graduated from Meriden – Cleghorn High School in 1972. He continued his education by attending Northwest Iowa Community College and received his diploma from mechanical school in 1975.
Delmar worked for the Farmers Co-op in Cleghorn while attending college. He opened Del’s Repair on the outskirts of Meriden until Hwy 3 was closed for resurfacing. Del then worked as a Massey-Ferguson mechanic at Dorr’s Implement until the business closed. He managed the Co-op convenience store until its closure. Del then became employed at Builders Sharpening as a small engine repairman. This employment lasted 30 years until Del retired in 2021. He also did part time duties as a bus driver for MMC as well as helping farmers haul grain in the fall.
Delmar loved cats and several of them loved to call Del’s farm their home. With Del being the only boy and the youngest, he was looked after and received love as “little brother” from his older sisters.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Carl and Adelaide; and brothers-in-law Marvin Pahl, Ray Gustin, Bill Sutherland and Mert Chalmers.
Delmar is survived by his sisters June Pahl of Wright, WY, Carol Warren of Ft. Dodge, IA, Thelma (Titus) Allen of Cary, NC, LuElla (Jim) Rolfes of LeMars, IA, Shirley Chalmers of Durham, NC; and numerous nieces, nephews and friends.
