Michael R. Dideriksen died Wednesday, December 6, 2023 at his home in Burlington, Iowa. He was 60 years old.
Mikey was born March 12, 1963 in Burlington, Iowa, the son of Orville and Hazel (Dodd) Dideriksen.
Mikey loved to be the life of the party. He enjoyed hanging out on the river and enjoying the view from his home. He looked forward to Friday night bonfires, listening to Blackberry Smoke, and drinking his Poor Man’s Martini (a beer with an olive). Mikey had a deep love for the outdoors and had many pieces of art showcasing that appreciation. He enjoyed rebuilding classic cars with his best friend, Jeff Jacobs. He liked mushroom hunting with his wife, Beth, and other best friend, Scott Thomas. He enjoyed building puzzles with Beth and spending time with his family. Mikey will be deeply missed, but his charismatic personality and kindness will live on through all who love him.
Mikey’s family include his cherished wife, Beth; his children, Jessica (Jeff) Reynolds, Brittany (Brendon) Reynolds, and Bobby (BreAnna) Dideriksen; grandchildren, Judah and Noah Reynolds, Brooklyn and Lucas Reynolds, and Randi Rae Dideriksen; siblings, Linda (Rick) Rehman, Tony Dideriksen, and Bill (Marie) Dideriksen. Sadly, Mikey is preceded in death by his parents, Orville and Hazel; and siblings, Larry Dideriksen and Bobby Dideriksen.
