Obituary
DeLoyd Dale Dreier was born on December 28, 1930, in Gibbon, Minnesota. He was the son of Albert Heinrich Johann and Lena M. (Bruns) Dreier. He was baptized as an infant at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Moltke Township, Minnesota, and later confirmed in his faith as a youth at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Gibbon. He received his education in Gibbon and was a graduate with the Gibbon High School class of 1950.
On November 27, 1952, DeLoyd was united in marriage to Leona Mae Suttles at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Gibbon. This marriage was blessed with three children, Victoria, Kevin, and Kathleen. DeLoyd and Leona resided in Stewart, Minnesota. They shared 68 years of marriage.
DeLoyd was employed at Isakson’s Plumbing and Heating for 43 years until his retirement in 1997. He was a member of Saturday Night Cruisers Car Club, Minnesota Wings- Midwest Chapter, Stewart Fire Department for 24 years, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church Council for 9 years, the Cemetery Board for 3 years, and served as Head Usher. He was also a member of the Stewart Improvement Association.
He enjoyed roller-skating, attending coffee club, sports, softball, youth gun and snowmobile training instructor, bowling, woodworking, and deer hunting. DeLoyd traveled on his motorcycle to all 48 continental states, all Canadian providences but one, as well as visiting Alaska and Hawaii. He was truly the best role model a family could ever ask for; he was kind, patient, loving, and a master of all trades. He was a real-life superhero!

To the Drier family,
Larry and I were saddened to hear of DeLoyd’s passing. He always had time for a pleasant conversation no matter when we saw each other, whether it was at the grocery store or a car show. How he loved to talk about his motorcycle trips that he and Leona shared over their years of travel. We send our prayers to your family in this time of grief and family member passing. We understand how much DeLoyd will be missed. Always know God loves you and He will fill you with His strength. God Bless, Larry and Kay Husfeldt
