Randall Breckerbaumer

Randall Kay Breckerbaumer, 84, of Atlantic, Iowa passed away on Monday, September 19, 2022, at Cass County Memorial Hospital. Randall was born on June 28, 1938, the son of Wilbur "Breck" and Alberta (Kohlscheen) Breckerbaumer.

Randall grew up in Lewis, Iowa, attended the Lewis Consolidated School and graduated from Lewis High School in the Class of 1956. Right away, Randall began touring with a 14-piece orchestra as their singer, performing in 22 states. He then attended Drake University for one year.  Randall married Sharon Kay Casady on March 23, 1958, at the Methodist Church (now the United Congregational Methodist Church) in Lewis. They had two children, Janis Sue and Jon Alan.  Randall, Sharon and children moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1962.  While there, he had a milk route and then worked as a meter reader for Arizona Public Service before returning to Iowa.  After his return, he went to work in the insurance business with Clarence Hancock. Randall enjoyed his job and ended up owning The Insurance Place and bought another agency in Atlantic. He ended his career running Noble Township Mutual Insurance. He was in the insurance business for over 30 years.

Randall touched many lives with his musical talents, singing at over a thousand funerals.  He always felt he had a blessed life.  One of his most difficult times was losing his son, Jon to cancer at the age of 19.

Randall enjoyed his family above all else. He also loved traveling, singing, telling stories, and making people laugh. He was known for his larger-than-life personality!  Randall and Sharon enjoyed trips to 48 states, England, Mexico, Canada, and the Caribbean. Randall served on the Senior Citizens Board in Lewis, the Griswold Telephone Board for 11 years, the Griswold Golf Club Board for 3 years, the Atlantic Golf and Country Club Board for 3 years, the Rolling Hills Bank Board for 20 years, the Noble Township Insurance Board for 15 years, and the Congregational Methodist Church Board.

Randall is survived by his daughter, Jan (Ken) Tolton; his grandchildren, Misty (Theodore) Johnson, Jon Kelly (Maggie) Muller, and Meagan (Nathan) Ross; step-grandchildren, Nicholas (Lori) Muller, Bethany (Nathan) Koch, Jill (Matthew) Huebsch, and Matthew Tolton; great-grandchildren, Bruce, Margaret, Max, and Ellen Johnson, Clara, Lucy, Isabelle, and Vivian Muller, Brody, Olivia, and John Ross, Jack and Abigail Muller, Emma, Audrey, and Jacob Koch, and Zack, Alex, and Zoey Huebsch; sister, Pat Marshall Burk; brothers-in-law, Richard (Darla) Casady and Daryl Henningsen; step-sisters, Donnis Christensen and Rita (Jon) Slankard; and several nieces and nephews.
