Delvin “Del” Tieden
July 2, 2019

Delvin “Del” Dale Tieden, Sr., 64, of rural Elkader, died Tuesday, July 2, 2019, at MercyOne Health System in Elkader. He was born in McGregor, to Duane and Margaret “Darlene” Entwisle Tieden. Del was baptized and confirmed at Peace United Church of Christ in Elkader.

Del attended Central Community School, Elkader. He was united in marriage to Karen Roeder on December 15, 1979, at Peace United Church of Christ in Elkader. Del worked many years as a hired man for Richard Troester, Alto Kelly, and George Leonard. He also worked on the family farm until his parents retired from farming. Del was employed as a construction worker running heavy equipment for Carlsons, Tesar, and Moynas. He was especially happy driving semi trucks for Ray’s Excavating until he finally retired.

He enjoyed his hobby farm, collecting tractors, ATVs, and tinkering with Farmall and Allis Chalmers tractors. He liked the adventures he took riding his Harley motorcycles, Pioneer UTV and the green Rebel buggy. Spending time with his family making fun memories is what he loved the most. His dogs were his favorites, along with hunting, being outdoors and watching westerns. He did enjoy visiting with people and loved to tease. He had a way of nicknaming special people he became close to. He left a lasting impression with everyone he met, and always tried to make people smile.

Survivors include his wife Karen, of rural Elkader; his children, Delvin (Tina) Tieden, Jr., of Volga and Kallie (Chris) Moeller of Postville; nine grandchildren, Brianna “Bubbles”, Brittni “Pooter”, Brandy “Panda”, Brooke “Woody”, Brandon “Buddy” Tieden and Chloe “Stubs”, Kody “PeeWee”, Cameron “Screech”, Keely “Lucky” Moeller; his parents, Duane and Darlene Tieden of Elkader; his mother-in-law, Marian Roeder of Strawberry Point; brother Dennis (Tae) Tieden of Enid, Oklahoma; sister Dee Koehn of Elkader; brother, Doug (Mindi) Tieden of Moravia; brother and sister-in-law Randy and Dianne Richter of Strawberry Point; brother and sister-in-law David and Darlene Bahls of Elkader, brother and sister-in-law Kevin and Ilene Roeder of Guttenberg; several nieces, nephews, and many friends.

Del was preceded in death by his father-in-law, Clyde Roeder and brother-in-law, Clyde Kent Roeder.

Visitation will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 9, 2019, at Leonard-Grau Funeral Home in Elkader.

Del requested a celebration of his life, so the family would like to invite his friends and family to enjoy some laughs and reminiscing. The Celebration of Life will be held at the Tieden Family Farm (20926 Grandview Rd, Elkader, IA) on August 10, 2019 from 2 p.m.- 8 p.m. A private family burial is planned.
