David Alan rounded by the David Bartlett Bartlett passed peacefully away, surlove of his large family, on the afternoon of Tuesday, March 13, 2012.

As per his wishes, he remained in the home he lovingly built in Cedar Falls. Dave was born in Waterloo on March 18, 1960, to his loving parents, Donald and Gladys Kettman Bartlett. His childhood was spent in Waterloo, and briefly in Las Vegas. He recounted numerous tales of childhood fun with his siblings, Brenda, Mike and Nancy, as well as various pets. Favorites included bicycle Robert of Cedar Chick Henderson Jack Rusty Kibbee MarKatie Hanbrother Weide- Church, p.m.

hour Funeral especially She on ters, Lori of adventures and accidents, a love of baseball and cars, but mostly stories of tormenting Mike and Nancy. His kindergarten friend, Craig Drewelow, figured prominently in many of his memories. His days at West High were spent in more adventures, particularly involving muscle cars, a bunch of good buddies and the result of combining the two and maybe some beer. In 1981, Dave and his high school sweetheart, Nancy Hersey, were married in Waterloo. They later divorced.

Their lives were blessed with three children, Nick, Sara and Tom. Dave fondly recalled his early 20s when he had "life in the palm of his hand." By the age of 22, he had already purchased and remodeled his own home and had two perfect children. He had always planned to join his father's business, Don Bartlett Construction, as the third generation in the trade. He worked with his father from the time he graduated high school until Don's retirement. During the 1980s recession, Dave worked with PepsiCola as a route salesman.

He made many lifelong poker-buddy friends and spoke fondly of those years, driving around northeast Iowa. He was a committed hard worker in everything he did. Dave took over the family business in 2000, renaming it "Dave Bartlett Construction." His and his father's reputation for building some of the highest quality homes in the Cedar' Valley is disputed by no one. On Aug. 12, 2006, Dave married Suzanne Parrish Glascock in Hilton Head, S.C.

They embarked on one adventure after another, often with reckless abandon. Highlights included travel, often involving exploration of local outdoor adventures, development of a taste for great red wine, and the ability to sit for hours talking and laughing as the soul mates they were. Dave's lifelong dream was to build his own home, which he accomplished in 2008. Some of his favorite features included his curved staircase and intricate details, but mostly he cherished his prized curved bar and wine cellar downstairs. The diagnosis of Stage IV Lung Cancer on Dec.

2, 2008, cast an enormous blow to Dave and his family. Although not a smoker, Dave was found to have a tumor containing the EGFR mutation. Spread to brain and bones meant the remainder of his life would be spent enduring difficult treatment. This would include various regimens of chemotherapy, radiation and a drug called Tarceva, which was specific to his type of cancer. Throughout his battle, Dave's determination and resolve never wavered.

Those who knew him closest can vouch that he never complained. He fought until the day of his death, which remained true to his vow. His life is indebted to the incredible medical care provided by Dr. Katherine Pisters at MD Anderson in Houston, Dr. Mark Smith at the University of Iowa, and most profoundly by Dr.

Joginder Singh of Waterloo. It was his wife's promise that he would receive the best available care and maintain a high quality of life in the process. He continued to work and run his business until the very end. A family man, Dave was certifiably the best husband, father and stepfather his family could ever wish for. He is so greatly, incredibly missed and will forever remain an indelible imprint upon the lives of his loved ones.

His public cancer struggle has empowered and inspired many who had never met him. Dave was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Orville and Christina Kettman, and his paternal grandparents, Kenneth and Mary Bartlett. He is survived by his parents; his wife, Suzy; children Nick (Kristine) Bartlett of Maple Grove, Sara (Dan) Athman of Watkins, and Tom Bartlett of Cedar Falls; stepchildren John and Elise Glascock at home; grandchildren Evan and Elena Bartlett; siblings Brenda (Mark) Knutson of Waterloo, Mike (June) Bartlett of Waterloo and Nancy (Glenn) Ivers of Winterset; as well as nieces and nephews Brian, Christina, Angela, Andrea, Sean, Abbie, Jacob and Joe. A life of service to others, quality workmanship, integrity, honesty, generosity, faith, love and humor are attributes which define Dave Bartlett a gentleman in the truest sense of the word. His valiant fight to remain with his loved ones was testament to these traits.

He, himself, summarized it best in his last mortal words, "I love you. I did what I could." Funeral services will be held 10:30 a.m. Saturday at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, Waterloo, with burial in Greenwood Cemetery, Cedar Falls. Public visitation will be from 3 to 8 p.m. Friday at Richardson Funeral Service, where there will be a 4 p.m.

rosary and 7 p.m. vigil. Family also will receive friends for one hour prior to the service Saturday at the church. In lieu of flowers, memorials to MD Anderson Cancer Center's Lung Cancer BATTLE Fund or to Cedar Valley Hospice are requested. Condolences may be left at www.richardsonfuneralservice.com.
