He was also an excellent woodworker refinishing antiques. Stub was baptized in the Bedford Baptist Church, however, he attended the Sharpsburg Presbyterian Church. He enjoyed working on cars, especially Chevelles and had a passion for his Harley-Davidson that he put together from scratch. His family was his number one priority and he enjoyed spending time with them. Stub enjoyed life and was always up for a good time . . . always wanting to be where the action was! Stub also enjoyed fishing with his children . . .and if there was a pond they wanted to fish . . he would find a way to get to the pond. He also loved to go coyote hunting and using his CB with his handle being "Captain Zig-Zag".

Dennis Lester “Denny” Perdew
Birth: 9 Jul 1947 Creston, Union County, Iowa, USA
Death: 16 Mar 2015 (aged 67) East Des Moines, Polk County, Iowa, USA
Burial: Washington Cemetery, Gravity, Taylor County, Iowa, USA
Memorial #: 144437730
Bio:
Celebration of Life Services for Dennis Perdew, age 67 of Conway, who passed away Monday, March 16, 2015, at Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines, Iowa were held Saturday, March 21, 2015 at 10:30 AM at the Ritchie Funeral Home in Bedford. Visitation were held Friday from 3 to 7 with the family greeting friends from 5 to 7. Interment with military rites were held at the Washington Cemetery in Gravity. Memorials may be directed to the Sharpsburg United Presbyterian Church. Memories may be shared at: www.ritchiefuneralhome.com. Arrangements were entrusted to the Ritchie Funeral Home of Bedford.
Dennis (Denny) Lester Perdew was born on July 9, 1947, in Creston, Iowa to son of Leonard Charles Perdew and Marie Evelyn (Jackson) Perdew. He graduated from Clearfield High School with the Class of 1965. He entered into the United States Army in 1966 where he served for two years. In the few years that followed, he married Lurae Straight on June 11, 1971. From this union was born their daughter Ivy Dawn Perdew (Mueller).
In his younger years Denny worked road construction as a heavy equipment operator. Using the skills that he learned working road construction, he started his own business. At the start of the business his two older brothers Odie and Stub Perdew worked alongside him for over a decade. Perdew Construction has been in operation for over 35 years moving dirt for agricultural improvements.
His most enjoyed moments in life were running the yellow bulldozer and moving dirt from sun up to sun down. When people think of Denny Perdew, I believe they’ll think of him as an honest hard working man, and an excellent provider for his family.
Left to cherish Denny’s memories are his daughter Ivy Perdew Mueller and husband Mark Mueller and grandson Noah Mueller of Grandview, Missouri; one brother, Terry Perdew and friend Lolinda Campbell of Creston; two sisters, Norma Finnell and husband Walter of Conway; and Zonette Beemer and friend Hank Erickson of Conway; a sister-in-law, Jeanette Perdew of Conway and friend Ray; a dear friend, Juanita Heimke of Creston and many nieces and nephews.
Preceding Denny in death are his parents, Leonard and Marie Perdew; two brothers, Odie Perdew and Stub Perdew; and a brother-in-law, Dale Beemer.
He will truly be missed by many new and old friends, family and the community he served.Family Members
