Dave Lyman

Dave Lyman, 60, of Cedar Rapids, died Sunday, Oct. 18, 2020 at St. Luke’s Hospital.

Dave was born on May 20, 1960 in Cedar Rapids, the son of Gary and Joy Lyman. He lived in Cedar Rapids most his life and graduated from Washington High School in 1978. He was united in marriage to Candyce Smith on October 14, 2000. He worked as a Telecommunications Analyst for Kirkwood Community College.

Those that knew Dave were well acquainted with his subtle sense of humor, how he loved to laugh and wasn’t beyond the occasional prank. Dave cared deeply for those around him and was a great husband, son, big brother and friend. Throughout his life Dave had a passion for fishing and the outdoors and was a long time member and one time President of the Cedar Rapids Bassmasters and member of Izaak Walton League. Dave also had a passion for music and played in a local band and marched with the Emerald Knights and Lacrosse Blue Stars Drum and Bugle Corps during his younger years.

Dave was preceded in death by his grandparents, Carl and Ruth Lyman and Vern and Carmen Westphal. Left to cherish his memory are his wife Candyce Lyman, mother and father Joy and Gary Lyman, Brother Mitch (Tamara) Lyman, nephew and niece Brendon and Madison Lyman, Sister-in-Law Patti Smith, Brothers-in-Law James Stafford and Lorin (Lani) Smith, Aunt and Uncle Mimi (Ken) Lindberg, Uncle Michael Lyman and cousins Erik (Jane) Lindberg and Kristin (Simon) Wilks.

A Celebration of Life for Dave will be held from 1:00-4:00pm on Saturday May 22, 2021 at The Butcher Block Steakhouse located at 568 Boyson Rd NE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

The venue asks attendees to please wear a mask and practice social distancing.
