Obituaries : Dale L. Aswegan

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.
