Gary Stoll Obituary

Gary Lee Stoll, 75, of Oakley, KS passed away February 17, 2026, on I-70, where he lived a good part of his life as a truck driver. He was born six weeks early to Harry and Nora (Miller) Stoll on January 16, 1951, along with his twin brother Larry Dee, who died the next day. A lifelong fan of the Denver Broncos and the Kansas City Royals and at constant odds with car mechanics, he instilled in his children an enriched vocabulary, based in four-letter words. If you spent just a few minutes talking with him, you would feel like you had known him forever. His laugh came as easy as his love. His family was his home, which is a good thing because it is extensive.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Elizabeth Darlene Stoll (Cox); his parents; and his brothers, Arthur and Larry Stoll.

He is survived by his children, Robert Williamson (Tricia), of Hillsboro, KS, Laura Crick (Jason), of Dodge City, KS, Tiffany Mader (Jason), of Colby, KS, Jennifer Stoll (Joshua) of Kansas City, MO, Kylie Stoll of Kingman, KS, and Timothy Byers (Jillian), of Oakley; grandchildren Elise, Philomena, Alexa, Hailey, Kora, Alia, Evan, Alex, Nora, Kaitlyn, Bailey, Chamberlain, Owen, and Parker; siblings Joyce Venhuizen (Jim), Darrel Stoll (Linda), Duane Stoll (Linda), and Brenda Ramer (Ron); six great-grandchildren and many, many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
