Kyle Lynn Stock, 73, of Oskaloosa, passed away June 1, 2024, at home. A memorial visitation will be held Thursday, June 13, from 5-7 p.m. at Baxter Congregational Church in Baxter. A memorial service will be held Friday, June 14, at 10:30 a.m. at Baxter Congregational Church. Burial will follow in the Restland Cemetery in Baxter.
Kyle was the eldest son of Eugene Myron and Zetta Rae (Butler) Stock and was born Dec. 22, 1950. He attended Marshalltown Community Schools in his younger years before his folks moved north of Killduff in 1963. He was a 1969 graduate of Lynnville-Sully High School where he enjoyed playing football and basketball. In 1972, he was united in marriage to Cinthia March and to this union they had three sons: Ryan (1975), Jason (1978), and Eric (1980). He and Cindy later divorced.
In his early years after high school, he worked for Fred Schmidt Lumberyard. Then he was a hired hand for Tom and Wayne Sharp. He then worked for March Materials, his father-in-law. Not knowing exactly what piqued his interest in trucking, he started driving for Lynnville Transport. In 1983, he bought his own truck and became an owner-operator. In 2002, he brought his son Ryan into the business. Kyle also dabbled in the family farm north of Killduff.
Kyle was an active member of the ATHS and the American Truck Historical Society. Kyle enjoyed attending many truck shows over the years. His CB handle was “Cowboy,” and that’s what most of his trucking friends called him. When his granddaughter came along and learned to talk, that is the only name she has ever referred to him as. Kyle got a kick out of that. He also enjoyed motorcycles. Over the years, he got to enjoy many trips with friends on the bikes. He always looked forward to those trips.
Kyle leaves behind his sons and their families; Ryan (Alisha) Stock and their kids Haily (Kenny), Kenley, Braxton, Emmalynn, and Tyler; Jason Stock and daughter Georgie; Eric Stock and children Ashley, Nathaniel, Kenzi “Bob”, Chance, and Aidan; brothers Kelly Stock and his family of California and Kent Stock of Kellogg; many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, father in 1985, mother in 2020, and brother Kirk in 2021.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be directed to the family.
