The visitation will be on Tuesday, April 28 from 6-8 p.m. at Williams Funeral Home in Knoxville. Please RSVP by calling/texting me at 515-822-9414 http://www.williamsfhknoxville.com/OnlineObits.htm
We found out how it happened.The detective said there was no way he could have survived a colision like this. He t-boned the deer. I haven't seen the bike yet, but he said there's fur in the tire spokes and in the middle parts of the bike. When he collided with the deer, it forced his front tire to the right and down. He flew over, flipped, and landed on the back of his head. Yes, he was wearing his helmet. Let's just say that if he wasn't, then there would be no visitation. The family considers me family, even if we weren't married yet. They said I straightened him out. So we saw his body today, before they make it presentable, and there's not a scratch on him. It's still hard to beleive. It feels more like he's sticking around for a while.
.........I ...I just saw his helmet and clothes. The paramedics told us it was just a little crack in the helmet... it's not little. If you want helmet pictures, let me know. I'm NOT posting them here.
They're discussing the possibilities of a lawsuit, but it's looking grim. Iowa is a no-helmet state, and he was going 50 mph, the posted speed limit.

I am Jeff's wife, whom you just spoke with moments ago on the phone. Through Jeff, I am hearing and seeing what a great guy he was, and my heart goes out to all of you as you grieve and recover from this tragic loss. Know that you will remain in my thoughts, and again, I am so very sorry for your loss.

kebrouse - I have no idea. It seems 95% of his network in Des Moines were people who knew him through Mediacom, so send out a mass email?
Everyone else - Rusty's not going anywhere. He's in Heaven, yes, but he still has a hand in all of our lives. I really want to gather as many stories about him as I can. Please write down any stories that come to mind and send them to me as they come. Thanks!
