Douglas Joe Pannhoff, the son of Kenneth and Frances (Otto) Pannhoff, was
born May 23, 1965, at Britt, IA. In the younger years of his life he was
active in the Klemme Cub Scouts pack. He attended Klemme Community Schools
graduating from Klemme High School in the Class of 1984. Doug loved a wide
variety of sports throughout his entire life. He played football and
basketball in high school.
Following his school Doug was employed initially for Triggs before
eventually working for Korbert, inc. in Klemme for many years. His last
employment was with Cargill in Mason City, prior to various health issues
forcing him to retire from working.
Doug was united in marriage to Tracie L. Reysack on August 10, 1991, at
the Immanuel Reformed UCC Church in Klemme. The couple's union brought two
daughters into the world Telsie Lu and Brittney Back. The two girls were
precious in the eyes of Doug and Tracie. They along with Tracie gave Doug
great satisfaction throughout the years as he wore the title of being a
family man.
Doug and Tracie enjoyed going on family camping outings around the region
at couple of their favorite destinations included Marble Rock (Camp
Comfort) and Indian Lake, Goodell, IA. He and Tracie truly loved the
simple things in life spending time with family, hanging out with friends,
attending and supporting their daughters' various activities, making a
trek to an area body of water to do some fishing, an occasional trip to
the casino to play slots, a friendly card game of nickel poker or just
taking a cruise out to Indian Lake to relax. Doug loved the excitement and
rush of sitting under the wheel of one of numerous demolition derby
vehicles he had owned and driven over the years in competitions at
regional tracks including the Hancock County Speedway, Mason City,
Belmond, and Nashua. He had won many awards at these events over the
years. If he wasn't competing Doug looked forward to helping others work
on their cars, attending dirt track races and various other events at the
county fairs. His favorite Nascar drive was Jeff Gordon, he loved the
Hawkeyes and was a die-hard Vikings fan. His musical tastes leaned towards
80's-90's country with a few of his favorite artists being Aaron Tippin,
Gary Allen, Alan Jackson, and Garth Brooks. The family had not done a lot
of traveling over the years, but a couple of trips that were truly enjoyed
included Laughlin and an excursion to a Chicago Cubs game.
For the last several years Doug has dealt with a variety of health
complications making it a challenge to do a lot, but he truly appreciated
the love and care given by his wife Tracie prior to her unexpected passing
this past November, as well as the support and care shared by his
daughters and son-in-laws, and Rhonda and Jeff Smith, and various other
family members and friends.
Memorials and expressions of sympathy may be directed in care of Doug's
Family %Brittney Back, 801 North 12th Street, Clear Lake, IA 50428.
Doug's memory will carry forward in the lives of his daughters: Telsie Lu

and Desmond, all of Clear Lake, IA; brother James Pannhoff, Forest City,
