everything. So naturally, in 1988, he fulfilled a lifelong dream of appearing on "Jeopardy!" and ended up being a three-day champion there. He was an avid runner and completed the Bix 7 and Watermelon Stampede road races numerous times. He was a great fan of old monster movies, comic book superheroes, the Beatles, the Iowa Hawks and the New York Yankees. Left to honor his memory are four brothers, John (Judy), of Mount Pleasant; Mark, of Muscatine; Bryan (Karen), of Des Moines; and Steven (Sheila) of Muscatine; one sister, Lynn Kellner (Mike), of Des Moines, and seven nieces and nephews, Adam Lawrence of Muscatine; Jason, Connor and Callie Lawrence; Rachel Wilke-Shapiro and Monica Wilke; and Lindsey Scott, all of Des Moines. He was preceded in death by his parents.
