Obituary

Douglas Alan De Kock, age 63 gracefully met his parents at heaven's door on February 1, 2025, in the comfort and peace of his own home.

Douglas Alan De Kock was born on January 25th, 1962, to Dolores Elaine “Dee” Achterhof De Kock and Duane E. De Kock in Des Moines, Iowa. He attended Valley High School.

Doug loved spending time outdoors, whether it was detailing his truck, organizing his tools in the garage with a cigar hanging out of his mouth of course, or fishing with his brother Dane, one of his favorite things to do. This past summer he had his biggest catch yet a 13-pound 36 inch, muskie! In recent years Doug, got the great honor of adding on the new title of grandpa. Doug was absolutely smitten with his grandsons. Doug’s two greatest joys in life were being a father to his son Cole and riding his Harley. On any given day if the sun was shining you would find him on two wheels.

Doug is survived by his brother Dane (Cheryl) DeKock, son Cole DeKock, daughter in law Alyssa DeKock, and two handsome grandsons Cashton and Cody DeKock. He was preceded in death by his mother; father and grandparents Lawrence “Larry” W. Achterhof, Jeanetta “Jean” and Uncle Roger D. Achterhof.

A Celebration of Life will be held 4-7 p.m. Thursday, February 13, 2025 at the Iles Grandview Park Funeral Home.
