David Laugerman

Dave Laugerman, 74, passed away peacefully at home on July 21, 2024 surrounded by family and friends. A beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Dave went to his eternal home to dwell with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Dave is survived by his beloved wife of nearly 37 years, Marcia; his two sons, James and Steven, James’ wife, Deanna and their four children: Maely (11), Joelyn (9), Nigel (6), and Zoey (3). He is also survived by his triplet brother, Duane (Jolene); his sister, Connie (Wayne) Wahlert; his brother-in-law, Bill (Donna) Rector; sister-in-law, Tracy (Tom) Vanderlinden; father-in-law, Ben (Jackie) Rector; and many beloved nieces and nephews. Dave was preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Lillian; his brother and sister-in-law, Dean and Rose; and his mother-in-law, Doris Rector.

Dave was born a triplet to Harold and Lillian Laugerman in Webster City, Iowa on March 8, 1950. He graduated from Webster City High School with the Class of 1968. His father, a World War II veteran, was a recipient of the Purple Heart, instilling in Dave a deep respect for service, hard work, and dedication.

As a talented licensed professional architect, Dave founded his own firm, designing several churches, school buildings, and homes, including his own. He received his undergraduate and Master’s in Architecture at Iowa State University. Dave spent his life in Iowa, though he cherished winters in Palm Springs, California.

His passions included fishing, cars, watching football, starting (and sometimes finishing) home projects, and worshipping with his church family at Soteria where he was an active member. Dave was a humble, peaceful, and gentle man whose warmth, generosity, and kindness will be deeply missed.

A service will be held Saturday, July 27, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. at Soteria Church to celebrate Dave’s life and to honor the legacy of love and community he leaves behind. A visitation will begin at 10:15 a.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Soteria Church Building Fund or Samaritan's Purse.
