Truckey, Kyle Joseph (9 February 1991 - 22 March 2013)

Kyle Joseph Truckey was born in Amery, Wisconsin on February 9, 1991, the son of Randy Truckey and Lori (Cornell) Self. He grew up in Amery and graduated from the Amery High School with the class of 2009. As a young man growing up, he loved the challenge of taking something apart and putting it back together again, and he was good at it. He attended Chippewa Valley Technical College for mechanics. He recently moved to Montana where he was working in the oil fields as a “Roust About,” the person who fixes anything and everything. If something on an oil rig needed fixing, he was up to the task. He was liked by his co-workers because he was always trying to be helpful. Kyle was a total outdoorsman. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, riding motor cycles and dirt bikes, and collecting rocks. He was always bringing interesting rocks he found home. Kyle had a significant other, Tiffany, who along with their unborn son, also died from her injuries in the truck accident with him. Kyle died at the Sanford Medical Center at Fargo, North Dakota on Friday, March 22, 2013, at the age of 22 years.

He was preceded in death by an infant son, Kayden; grandfathers: Patrick Cornell and Joseph Truckey. Left to mourn is his father Randy Truckey; mother, Lori (Dave) Self; sister, Cheyenne (Jason) Moore and their children, Kiley, Khole, and Brantley; grandmothers: Mary Ann Truckey and Betty Cornell; step-sister, Eli Self; and step brother, Daniel Self; and many other relatives and friends.
