Dale L. Aswegan, 60, of La Porte City, passed away on Thursday, January 15, 2026, at the University of Iowa Hospital.
Dale was born on October 12, 1965, in Cedar Falls to Laverne L. Aswegan and Carolyn K. Thorne. He graduated from Waterloo East High School in 1984. Dale married Jane Lammers on December 29, 2007, at Queen of Peace Catholic Church, just recently celebrating 18 years of marriage.
Dale dedicated 37 years to Omega Cabinets as a machine operator, recently retiring in August 2025. He enjoyed nature often going out to George Wyth State Park, finding new fishing holes, and riding his bike. As someone who enjoyed a good cocktail, you could always find Dale at the OP every Friday night with Jane or enjoying a cold one with friends at LPC Golf Course. He was the ultimate uncle who never missed an opportunity to spoil all his nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his stepmother, Kathy Aswegan and father-in-law, Dick Lammers.
Dale is survived by his wife, Jane Aswegan of La Porte City; parents, Laverne Aswegan of Evansdale and Carolyn Mulford of Cedar Falls; siblings, Douglas Aswegan of Evansdale, Tammy (Ryan) Lentzkow of Waterloo, and Dustin (Jennifer) Mulford of Cedar Falls; mother-in-law, Lois Lammers of Manchester; sisters and brothers-in law, Ann (Andy) Wooldridge of Center Point, Amy (Russ) Glasgow of Burlington, Greg (Karla) Lammers of Manchester, and Jill (Michael) Ridenour of Manchester; and many nieces, nephews, great nieces, and great nephews.

So very sorry for your loss and prayers and thoughts for you and your family.
Jane, was so sorry to hear about your husband. We did not know him, but if you lived him, we’re sure he was a wonderful man! Please accept our sympathy. Our kids remember you fondly.
Dear Jane..I am so saddened that you have loss Dale. I didn’t know Dale personally, but I understand he was the love of your life. I will pray for you. I hope God will care for you and give you strength in the days ahead. Hugs…
So sad to hear this. Dale was one of the funnest, and funniest friends I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing.
All the good times & memories I get to keep are room filling. It was always a good time with Dale around, because he wouldn’t have it any other way. The very best of times I would have to say, would be he, Dana, and I going to Waterloo Blackhawks games. Both home and away…we went to as many as we could. So much fun! At home games we sat in the same section, and the players actually looked for us and would give us the “sticks up” as they skated by. At away games, sometimes we would be the only three Blackhawks fans sitting amongst the locals…and they would embrace us because of the fun we were having.
I could go on forever. Growing up with Dale in my life only made happy, that much happier. Such a genuine person, and a great guy to have in any room at any time.
Love you Dale. Keep them laughing in heaven. My condolences go out to all that were privileged to know and love him; he will be missed.
