Memorial
August 16, 2018, Adam A. Starkweather left this earth to spend eternity with his heavenly father and those who have gone before him
Adam was born April 21, 1946 on Easter Day to Adam and Gertrude Starkweather Sr. He attended Muscatine High School, then joined the Navy. He served during the Vietnam crisis.
He was employed at GPC/ Kent Feeds for 32 years. He drove the city bus for four years and went back to Kent’s for a short amount of time as a contractor.
His greatest joy was spending time with his wife Shirley, camping and fishing. He loved hunting with his sons and grandsons. He was most happy doing almost anything that involved family, from his sisters and brother to his great grandchildren. He was at his best when he could talk to them about Jesus and draw them closer to God.
He was a member of the Church of God/ Chapel of Praise, where he served on the church board in charge of maintenance. His last request was for anyone who was going to send flowers to put the money in the Church building fund instead.
Survivors include his wife Shirley, 5 sons, Andy (Michelle) Starkweather; Brian (Kelly) Starkweather; Vance Crumly; Neal (Jeanine) Beverly; Dan Beverly; and one daughter Sally Beverly (friend Tami), 20 grandchildren, and 10 great grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents, one sister Jean Ramer, one brother Doug Starkweather, and one grandson Daniel Beverly.
