Jeffrey M. McCubbin
November 4, 1950 - September 13, 2019Jeffrey M. McCubbin, the fourth child of Max and Muriel Burke McCubbin of Conrad, Iowa, was born on November 4, 1950. He spent his formative years attending Conrad schools where he would, often, drive his tractor to school. At home, he worked the family farm with his brother, Jay, and his father before he married Lee Huff from Marshalltown in June of 1973. Together, Jeff and Lee raised two daughters, Robin and Rene, in Forest City, Iowa, where they made their permanent home.
An auto mechanic by trade, Jeff worked for ARA Vending and Winnebago Industries before finally starting his own business, McCubbin Trophy & Engraving, with his wife, Lee, thereby fulfilling a lifelong dream. In addition, he enjoyed tinkering under the hood of a car, camping at Freedom Park with his many close friends, and opening up the throttle on his 1981 Sturgis Classic Double Belt Drive Harley Davidson. In addition, he loved riding his tractor around his acreage and savoring the satisfaction of cracking open a cold beer. A colorful storyteller, he would, famously, recount the night he unknowingly sat around the campfire with Willy G. Davidson on one of his many trips to Sturgis.
Jeff is survived by his siblings: Jean, Jay, Jane, and Heidi; Lee, his wife of forty-seven years; and his daughters, Robin and Rene. Blessed with seven grandchildren, he adored his two fur babies as well. Many area motorcycle enthusiasts remember him as their happy, smiley Motorcycle Education Teacher. In his thirty years with Rider Education and the Abate of Iowa District 7, he held many leadership roles, established Freedom Park in Algona, and led his community in philanthropic efforts benefiting a variety of local individuals and agencies in need.
Jeff's Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday September 28, 2019. "Jeff's Last Ride" will depart from the Forest City Rider Education Range, Winnebago Gate 1 parking lot at 1:00. The ride will terminate at Freedom Park in Algona. His celebration begins at 2:00. All cars and motorcycles are welcome. Please direct memorial donations to Hospice of North Iowa or to the ABATE District 7 Food Pantry.
