Dale Bernard Scheidt, 75, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, died Friday, April 4, 2014, in Cedar Rapids.

Dale was a trucker, driving well over 3 million miles across America. He also worked construction, including working on the Alaska Pipeline. He was very involved with a large extended family, providing his love and guidance to all seeking it.

He was preceded in death by his parents, C. H. and Vera Scheidt, and his brother Clarence Scheidt. A private gathering was held at Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services in Cedar Rapids on Tuesday, April 8. Memorials may be made to the MS Society, Alzheimer's Association, Habitat for Humanity, or Four Oaks.

Thoughts and prayers are with you all, so sorry to hear of your loss.
Prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this time. May the fond memories of your father fill your heart with warmth and happiness for years to come.
Nadine, Carol, Cherri, Joe, Sabryna and Family–
We are so sorry to hear about the sudden loss of your dear husband, father and grandfather. I have been talking about Dale with my colleagues over the past couple of days, and we all have such fond memories of him. We remember how genuinely excited, supportive and proud both Dale and Nadine were as Carol and Sabryna worked through the Habitat program with us! In the short time that we all knew him, we found Dale to have such a generous spirit and kind disposition. We will miss him.
We are grateful and honored that you would choose to include Habitat as a recipient of gifts in Dale’s memory. Please know that we hold you all close in our thoughts and prayers, asking that God grant you peace and comfort in this most difficult time.
Blessings,
Jeff Capps
