David Kaplan Obituary

DAVID KAPLAN Cedar Rapids David Kaplan, 65, passed away peacefully after a long term illness on Saturday, Jan. 22, 2022, at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics while receiving superior care. David was born June 30, 1956, the son of William and Lillian Kaplan. He was a graduate of Mount Vernon High School and Kirkwood Community College. Dave spoke fondly of his time in school and pranks played while on the football team. David was well known for being an incredible Dad to five daughters and a husband to Tammy Kaplan. His love for the outdoors was another way he bonded with his daughters, often taking their friends along on fishing trips to his favorite trout streams. Survivors include his beloved wife, Tammy; his children, Kim Kaplan, Karie (Jeff) Erickson, Kristi Kaplan, Karla (Mike) Ohman, Holly Heiar and Carl Johnson; brother, Donald (Cathy) Kaplan; sister-in-law, Teresa Kaplan; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Lillian Kaplan; brother, Clifford Kaplan and nephews, Todd Kaplan and Daniel Kaplan. Papich-Kuba Funeral Service is serving the family.

My condolences to the family on the news of David passing away. It's always sad hearing this kind of news but memories of a young David cutting up with others in class has brought a smile to my face and I consider it a privalege to have been part of it. God rest his soul.

Growing up in the Mount Vernon Schools, David and I were good friends, spending many weekends trout fishing in Northern Iowa or river fishing in the Cedar. I used to ride my bicycle out Bryant road to their place and spend the day helping him with chores. His parents were fine people too. I recently would stop by the airport shuttle service to say hello whenever passing through CR. I have good memories of David growing up and am sorry for his family's loss.
