Funeral service for Mr. Doyle K. Waldrop, Jr. will be 2 p.m., Monday, September 12, 2022, at Heuck’s Retreat Baptist Church with burial in the church cemetery. Visitation will be from Noon until the time of the service.
Mr. Waldrop, 65, passed from this life, September 7, 2022, at his residence. He was born in Collinsville, Illinois, February 20, 1957, to Doyle K. Waldrop and Olga Bowman Waldrop. He was retired from the Forestry Industry and a member of Heuck’s Retreat Baptist Church.
“D”, as affectionately known by those who loved him most, was a faithful husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He walked with, trusted, and found his hope in life and death, in Jesus alone. He held the temperament of a leader, the humility of a servant, the work ethic of a provider, and the integrity of a believer whose life is built on honoring the Lord in each day. A good laugh, good food, and good time followed him into every day. He will be greatly missed but his memory will be extended by the legacy of hope he leaves behind in his children and grandchildren.
He is preceded in death by his parents; brother, Ronnie Waldrop; and brother-in-law, Don Sandifer.
Those who remain to cherish his memory are his wife of 41 years, Iris Castilaw Waldrop; children, Trey Waldrop (Laura) and Carly Waldrop (Mike); sisters, Agnes Allen (Mike) and Winnie Sandifer; six grandchildren, Mason, Willow, Thatcher, Liza, Amos, and Livy. He is also survived by other loving family members and friends.
