Dustin William “Mudd” Mudderman, 42, was called to be with his Savior Friday, December 10, 2021. Funeral Service was held Saturday, December 18 at United Methodist Church in Lansing with Pastor Sedar Shako as the officiant.
He was born January 26, 1979 to David and Diane Mudderman of Fairbank. He was a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church where he was baptized and then Lord of the Harvest Lutheran Church where he was confirmed. Dustin attended Wapsie Valley Community Schools and continued his education at Iowa Lakes Community College and then Mt. Mercy College. Growing up, Dustin worked at the family business.
Dustin was united in marriage with Kelli Jo Kramer August 23, 2003 at St. Mary’s Church in Larchwood. To this union they were blessed with three children, Reagan, Dalton and Rylee. After settling in Lansing, they attended the United Methodist Church. Throughout the years, Dustin worked as an insurance agent, and for Coca-Cola, Napa Auto Parts and Pella Windows.
His first love was his family. He was so proud of his children and talked about their accomplishments all the time. He always said that Kelli was his best friend.
Dustin’s second love was sports, especially basketball. He was always involved in AAU and Gus Macker tournaments. He loved to coach and ref games. He played basketball all four years of college and as his children were born, he shared that love with them. He worked to teach his children all the techniques and they played constantly. He encouraged athletics and loved to coach his kids and their friends in all sports. He also enjoyed boating, fishing, hunting and NASCAR.
