Douglas “Duke” Larry Rosburg

Douglas “Duke Larry Rosburg of Cape Canaveral, Florida, was born on June 25, 1942 in Charter Oak, Iowa, the son of Edwin and Selma (Rusch) Rosburg. He passed away on July 27, 2019, at Holmes Regional Hospital in Malvern, Florida, at the age of 77.

Duke received his education at St. John’s Lutheran School and Charter Oak High School.

He was employed in management at Iowa Beef Processors in Denison and Fort Dodge, Iowa before he and his wife BJ moved to Florida. While in Florida, he proudly received his G.E.D. through Daytona Beach Junior College. Duke was first united in marriage to Carol Keating and later married Betty Jean (BJ) Backer.

Duke was a hard working and dedicated man that knew every floor of a packinghouse. He loved to socialize and look in on friends. He never met a stranger and you always knew where you stood with him. He was easy to talk to and was a loyal friend. As a young man, he loved to sing, dance and play cards. He also loved taking time every fall to haul cattle from out west.

In his later years, Duke loved tending to yard work and his vegetable garden; he especially enjoyed grooming the hedges of his condominium complex. He also enjoyed fishing and shopping for grocery bargains. Duke would often spend his days in his garage tinkering and watching old western shows on his television. He was a devout Green Bay Packers fan and proudly wore his green and gold. Duke wasn’t a very emotional man but if he told you he loved you, you could take that to the bank. He was incredibly proud and often spoke to his friends about his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren about their many accomplishments.

Duke was preceded in death by his parents; one brother, Vernon; and son-in-law, Aaron Brodersen.

Survivors include his wife, BJ; two sons, Ty Rosburg and his wife, Natalie of Charter Oak and Troy Rosburg and his wife, Kelly of Denison; one daughter, Tani Brodersen and her fiancée, Carlos Castillo of Denison; three stepchildren, Kimberly and her husband, Tom; Jill and her husband, Rob; and Rusty and his wife, Sherri; six grandchildren; nine step-grandchildren; five great grandchildren; eleven step-great grandchildren; one step great-great-grandchild; one brother, Edward Rosburg and his wife, Dorothy, of Colorado and one sister, Sally Ann Carstens of Carroll.

Memorial services will be held at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, August 30, 2019 at St. John Lutheran Church in Charter Oak, Iowa. There is no visitation. Island Cremations was in charge of the arrangements in Florida. The Huebner Funeral Home of Denison, Iowa is in charge of the arrangements in Iowa.
