Harold Arthur Scoggin
HAROLD ARTHUR SCOGGIN
Cedar Rapids
Harold Arthur Scoggin, 62, of Cedar Rapids, passed away Friday, May 14, 2021, at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. A Celebration of Life memorial will be held at noon on Saturday, June 19, at Pinicon Ridge Park in the Wapsi Bluff Shelter.
Harold was born Aug. 14, 1958, to Donald E. and Arlene (Dawson) Scoggin of
Waterloo, Iowa. He attended Waterloo East High School. Harold graduated from Hawkeye Institute of Technology in 1986. Harold was employed by Cargill of Cedar Rapids.
Harold believed that family was more important than anything. He was often finding new ways for all the kids and grandkids to get together. One of these ways was to race around on ATVs. Harold was a kid at heart and would be out there racing right alongside everyone else. Harold's newfound love of smoking meats was another great reason to gather. If Harold wasn't at work or with his family, you could find him at home spending time with his dogs, watching his favorite true crime TV show or watching something from his expansive movie collection. However, Harold's favorite past time was exploring the countryside on his Harley Davidson. More often than not you could find him riding along any body of water, but his favorite view was the Mississippi River.
Harold is survived by his six daughters, Elizabeth (Kyle) Schmidt of Atkins, Jennifer (David) Stull of Independence, Stephanie (Shamus) Veach of Cedar Rapids, Barbara Wilson of Norway, Dawn (Wes) Wauters of Keystone and Teresa Scoggin of Cedar Rapids; three brothers, Daniel (Sandy) Scoggin of Evansdale, Donald II (Teressa) Scoggin of Evansdale and Mark (Kathy) Scoggin of Waterloo; three sisters, Sandra Schaefer of Waterloo, Carol (Bill) Ritter of Waterloo and Mary Oettel of Waterloo; and many grandchildren, nieces and nephews; and his two mastiffs, Sam and Dean.
He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Marie Ratute; and brother in-laws, Stephen Oettel and Peter Schaefer.
