OSAGE, IOWA — Kent David Stricker, 63, of Osage, passed away Saturday, June 11, 2016, after a brief illness at St. Mary’s Hospital in Rochester.

A Celebration of Life is planned for Saturday, June 18, from noon to 3 p.m. at the American Legion in Osage.

Kent was born on March 10, 1953, to Harold and Mary Ann (Weitzel) Stricker in Mason City, Iowa. He was united in marriage to Candice Brummer on August 15, 1977, in rural Osage. Kent was well known in the community for his outgoing personality and fun loving demeanor. Kent made friends wherever he went.

After working in the meat department at the local grocery store for several years, Kent bought S & S Locker in 1994 with partner Tom Smith. Not only did Kent excel in providing quality food to the community, he provided an atmosphere of laughter and camaraderie for his customers. In 2011 Kent returned to his original love, Stricker Farms, where he worked alongside his brother and parents.

He is survived by his loving wife of 38 years, Candice; their daughter Mandy (Matt) Freer; grandchildren Henry and Ellery Freer; his brother Michael (Marsha) Stricker; nephew Jerad (Amber) Stricker; niece Shannon (Dustin) Bieber; and many great-nieces and nephews.
