Brian Frederick Struck was born on October 1, 1970, in Rock Island, IL to
Frederick and Judith Myers Struck. He graduated from Winola High School
and quickly entered the work force. Brian worked several jobs throughout
his life, including construction but found his career in transportation. He
began working as an over-the-road truck driver hauling freight to all parts of
the United States. During this time, Brian became the proud father of two
children: Sam and Lily. Most of Brians life was spent in Illinois until he met
Kendra Owens. The two began their life together as husband and wife on
November 17, 2012. With this marriage Brian gained three stepchildren
and began his life in Fairfield. When Brian wasn’t behind the wheel of a
truck at work, he enjoyed watching NASCAR and sitting behind the wheel
of a boat at Lake of the Ozarks. He cared deeply for his family and as time
passed cherished his role as grandfather. Brian made the most of the time
he had here with us and will be forever missed but fondly remembered.
Brian was preceded in death by his parents.
Left to honor his memory is his loving wife, Kendra Struck of Fairfield, IA;
two children, Sam (Brie) Struck and Lily Struck both of Illinois; three
stepchildren, Nykole (Thomas) Welker of MI, Kelsey (Austin) Gire of IA,
and Mitchell (Marsha) Thacker of IA; six grandchildren, Gracelyn, Owen,
Bentley, Emma, Violet, and Amira; one sister, Lori (Jim) Sedlock, as well as
many extended family and friends.
