Even in the face of such a devastating event, the spirit of heroism radiates through the community’s outpouring of support. A GoFundMe page, created to assist Marburger’s family, reflects the sentiment, stating, “Although the news has not fully set in yet, Dan Marburger gave the ultimate sacrifice.” The family acknowledges the unimaginable situation they now face but also highlights Marburger’s selfless acts during the tragic events at Perry High School.

The statement underscores Marburger’s significant injuries incurred while putting himself in harm’s way to ensure the safety of as many students and staff as possible. Described as a tremendous leader, Marburger’s bravery and kindness were evidently ingrained in his character, as his daughter Claire attested in a heartfelt Facebook message. She expressed that it was no surprise to her that her father had attempted to approach and distract the shooter to allow students to escape, given his lifelong commitment to helping others.

Tributes for Marburger poured in from authorities and Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, who acknowledged the devastating loss the entire state faced. In honor of Marburger’s sacrifice, Reynolds ordered all state flags to be half-staffed.

In a positive message, the community is urged to remember Marburger’s legacy of heroism. Iowa Governor Reynolds stated, “Dan courageously put himself in harm’s way to protect his students and ultimately gave his own life to save them.
