Ronald Dale Pepmeyer, 69, of Burlington, died Sunday, August 31, 2025, at the Southeast Iowa Regional Hospice House in West Burlington.
Born November 20, 1955, in Burlington, he was the son of Clarence and Delores Werner Pepmeyer. On August 5, 1978 he married Mary Howie in Burlington. They later divorced after 34 years of marriage.
Ronald graduated from Burlington High School. He went on to attend Southeastern Community College where he earned his Associates of Applied Science degree.
Ronald worked as a project manager, estimator, and construction manager.
Ronald was always working on projects. When it was time to unwind, Ronald would hop on his Harley Davidson with blues music pouring from his speakers. Weekends were made for sports and cars. If there was a NASCAR race on, he was tuned in and he loved attending car shows. He was a die-hard fan of the Chicago Cubs, Bulls, and Bears, and he was an avid fan of Iowa Hawkeye football and more recently the women's basketball team. But above all, Ronald treasured the time spent with his family at cabin or on the river.
Survivors include his two daughters, Amanda (Casey) Smith of De Witt, and Michelle Pepmeyer of Burlington; one son, Ron J. (Molly) Pepmeyer of Tiffin; and five grandchildren, Collin, Layla, Cecilia, Carter, and Addy.
He was preceded in death by his parents and two sisters, Diana and Nancy.
Cremation has been entrusted to the care of Prugh Crematory.
The Graveside Committal Service for Mr. Pepmeyer will be 2:00 p.m. Friday, September 12, 2025, at Aspen Grove Cemetery. The celebration of life will be held at a later time.
A memorial has been established for Southeast Iowa Regional Hospice House.
