Carl F. Stecks
Tireless farmer, perfectionist, devoted husband, father of three, traveler, self-taught from the eighth grade, Carl Frederick Stecks went to be with the Lord at the age of 91 from a stroke and subsequent pneumonia.
Born November 25, 1914 to Carl Gustave and Minnie Bock Stecks in Stuttgart, Arkansas, Carl was the son of early Arkansas settlers who introduced rice farming to the communities of Almyra and Crocketts Bluff. He attended the Prairie Dell School, a one-room school north of Almyra and a three mile walk from the family farm. In 1932, the Stecks family moved their machinery and livestock to a farm between Lonoke and Scott. Carl purchased the farm from his parents and became one of the best growers in his region. With wife and children he was named Farm Family of the Year for Arkansas in 1963.
Possessing a curiosity that caused him to read prolifically and travel extensively, Carl and his equally hard-working and always supportive wife of 68 years, Ida Mae, toured the world-Seattle to Key West, Alaska to South America, Russia to New Zealand.
Carl and Ida Mae retired to Sherwood where he lived at the time of his death.
Preceding him in death are beloved wife; parents; and brothers William H. Stecks and Ervin G. Stecks.
