The 8-degree cold didn’t matter Tuesday in Perry. What mattered was that Dan Marburger was coming home. Bundled in Perry blue, friends, current and former students and other fellow townspeople gathered in front of Perry High School and Caldwell Parrish Funeral Home to bid farewell to the slain principal as a hearse carried his body from the Des Moines hospital where he died early Sunday. Hailed as a hero, Marburger suffered the wounds that 10 days later would claim his life when he tried to distract a troubled 17-year-old who entered the cafeteria armed with a pump-action shotgun and a small-caliber handgun. Dylan Butler also shot and killed 11-year-old Ahmir Jolliff and wounded four other students and two staff members before turning a gun on himself.
