Bryan Dykstra

December 30, 1959 - September 22, 2021

Bryan Dykstra, 61, of Fremont passed away Wednesday, September 22, 2021, at his home in Fremont. Bryan Leigh Dykstra, son of Bevan Leigh and Lois Jane (Dunwoody) Dykstra was born December 30, 1959, in Oskaloosa. He was raised on a farm in rural Eddyville and attended Eddyville schools. After his education, he farmed with his father. Bryan was truly a man of all trades, as he worked with a variety of companies in the Eddyville area while continuing to farm. He enjoyed fishing, but spending time with his daughter and grandchildren was the highlight of his life. Reading the “funnies” in the newspaper was a favorite pastime with his grandchildren, as this generated very robust laughs. Bryan’s family includes his daughter, Ashley Marcum and her fiancé, Dustin West of Hedrick; his grandchildren: Isaiah and Hailey Ludden of Hedrick; his mother, Jane Dykstra of Eddyville; a sister, Shari Randol of Cambridge, IA; a nephew, Lance Frahm of Nevada, IA; a niece, Amanda Frahm of Oskaloosa; and great-nephews, Keagan Millard and Tyson Breuklander, both of Oskaloosa; and a great-great-nephew, Noah Breuklander of Oskaloosa. In addition to his father, Bryan was preceded in death by three brothers-in-law: Dave Frahm, Matt Randol and Robert Dalbey. As was his wish, Bryan’s body has been cremated. A memorial service will be held at 10:30 a.m., Tuesday, September 28, 2021, at the First Christian Church in Eddyville. The family will greet visitors from 9:30 a.m. to service time Tuesday morning. Burial of his ashes will be in Weldon Cemetery.
