Darvin Struck

Darvin D. Struck passed away peacefully September 25, 2020 at Kalispell Regional Medical Center  from an accident experienced at home.  Darvin was born September 23, 1951 to Clarence and Irene (Averman) Struck; he was raised on the family farm in Evergreen, Mt.  During Darvs early years he worked alongside his Dad and older brother logging and working the family farm.  Each fall the family went to Rudyard, MT to help his Mothers brother with the grain harvest.

Darvin graduated from Flathead County High School in 1969, he then attended Flathead Community College, graduating with a Forestry Degree in 1971.  After pursuing a short career in Forestry from 1971 – 1973, Darvin started his own Log Trucking business and then a Scale Business, which kept him busy for many years.  Darv eventually went back to his first love, being a Farmer, he was farming hay right up to the time of his passing.  Darvin was always available to helps others and being a “fix-it” kind of guy, loved the challenge of repairing small and large engines alike.

Darvin's happy place was the Thompson River Cabin; he was on the Board of Directors of the Thompson River Drainage Association for 10+ years.  Darvin was an adventurous man who thoroughly enjoyed the outdoors, he could often be found motorcycle racing, fishing, hunting, boating, cross-country skiing, getting firewood or riding the 4-wheelers. In his quiet time, playing the guitar and singing were his joy.  Both his family and friends will miss him greatly.

Darvin is survived by his wife, Kim Struck, at the family home.  Daughter Jenny (Struck) Rodriguez and daughter-of-the-heart; Amanda Swanson.  Son Andy Struck and son-of-the heart; Tony Trebas along with four grandchildren.

An outdoor Celebration of Life will be held at 1 PM on October 17, 2020 at the family’s home, 521 E. Cottonwood Drive, Kalispell, MT.   Refreshments will be provided.
