Daniel McKinley Vocks

Daniel "Dan" McKinley Vocks, of Chamois, passed away on January 16, 2025, at the age of 64. He was born on January 21, 1960, in St. Louis, Missouri, the son of the late Francis Eugene "Gene" and Joan Elizabeth (Huesgen) Vocks.
On November 3, 1979, Dan married Kim Owens, and together they raised two sons and enjoyed time with their grandchildren.
He attended Fatima High School in Westphalia, Missouri. Dan worked for Tom Sanning Construction where he enjoyed his job and the people he worked with. He had a deep passion for spending time on his property, riding his Harley, and taking his classic 1969 Camaro out for a spin. Above all, Dan cherished his time with his family, especially his grandchildren, whom he adored.
He is survived by his two sons, Corey Vocks (Danielle) and Chad Vocks (Jessica); his beloved grandchildren, Ava, Cameron, Emersyn, Maverick, Carson; siblings, Jeff Vocks (Jeanette) of Linn, Lynn Byrd of Linn, and Michael Vocks of Frankenstein; as well as Kim Owens-Moon of Linn.
