William "Conrad" Eurom's Obituary
William Conrad Eurom, known to all simply as Conrad, of Powersville, Missouri, and Marshall County, Iowa, passed away peacefully on January 4, 2026, at the age of 88 from cancer. He was at the time residing in Jacksonville, Florida where he had moved in 2022 to be nearer his family.
Born on February 2, 1937, in Marshalltown, Iowa, Conrad was the son of Boyd and Beatrice Eurom. He grew up in Marshall County, Iowa, in a farming community which had not yet fully transitioned from horse drawn implements, an experience that shaped his outlook and flavored his stories. He was a graduate of Clemons High School, and as a young man, he spent a memorable time cowboying in Wyoming and Montana-an adventure he cherished and spoke of fondly for the rest of his life. He was easily recognized everywhere he went by his signature white cowboy hat, a lasting token of those days.
Conrad was a lifelong farmer who worked the land with dedication and pride. He farmed in Marshall County, Iowa, until 1973, when he purchased a farm west of Powersville, Missouri, which would be his vocation and legacy. He lived and worked at his farm until 2022, when health challenges led to his move with wife Barbara to Jacksonville, Florida, to be closer to his family.
Conrad is survived by his loving wife of 32 years, Barbara Eurom; his brother, Gordan Eurom; and his four children from his first marriage to Kay Larrick Eurom: Sandra Eurom, John Eurom, Anita Cullor Small, and Douglas Eurom. Conrad was also grateful to have formed a lasting relationship with Barb's sons Dennis and Doug Fehr and their families. In his final years, he was especially grateful to be near and in the care of his children.
Conrad was a longtime active member of the Powersville Christian Church and the Powersville Volunteer Fire Department, where his commitment to faith and community left a lasting impression on those around him.
A hardworking man who valued family, faith, and the outdoors, Conrad lived a full life rooted in the values of the land. His boisterous commentary, dedication to his beliefs, and his iconic white cowboy hat will be remembered by all who knew him, and his absence will leave a lasting vacancy in the Powersville community.
Conrad's family finds comfort knowing he has been reunited with his parents and those who went before him.
