Obituary of Louis D. Oscarson

Louis D. Oscarson passed peacefully at his home, surrounded by family members, on June 26, 2015. He was born in Moline, IL on Christmas Day to Albin and Esther Oscarson. Often referred to as Saint Louie, he graduated from Davenport Central High School where he set state records in track, played quarterback and wrestled. He attended Iowa State University on scholarship for track and made the wrestling team before enlisting in the U.S. Army. During that time, Louie tried out for the 1952 U.S. Olympic wrestling team where he placed third in his weight class. He married the love of his life, Barbara on January 15, 1955 and was married to her 54 years before she passed in 2009. Together they had 3 children. Louie's stamp on earth, as a highly skilled craftsman, will forever be defined by the hundreds of homes he built in Iowa and Colorado. He was a Project Manager for many years and retired in 2003 from Acuff homes. Louis was a devoted husband, cherished father, respected grandfather, and proud great-grandfather. He is survived by his children, Cynthia Clodfelter, Eric Oscarson, Linda Oscarson, and their spouses, grandchildren, Chris, David, Chelsea Oscarson, great-grandson Blake Louis Oscarson, sister, Diane Steckel, brother-in-law, Donald Jinkensen (Ski), Uncle, Richard Lindstrom (Gloria) and several nieces and nephews, and his beloved dog, Taylor who was always by his side.
