Roderick Gull Obituary
Per the wishes of Rod and his family, cremation rites have been accorded under the care of the Mitchell Family Funeral Home. A family-led celebration of life is being planned for a later date. For online condolences, please visit www.mitchellfh.com. Ph. 641-844-1234.
Rod was born September 1, 1959 in Marshall County, the son of Grace Gull. Upon leaving Marshalltown High School, he honorably served his country in the United States Army. A true gearhead at heart, he dedicated his career to truck driving. He also enjoyed classic cars and more than anything, his Harley Davidson motorcycles. Rod had a great sense of humor, liked watching old movies and loved listening to classic rock.
Rod is preceded in death by his mom and stepdad, Grace and Vern Flanders. He is survived by his two sons: Shawn (Jennifer) Hart and Alex Gull, both of Marshalltown; grandchildren: Lilian and Preston Hart, Itzy Flota and Luna Gull; and significant other, Laurie Hovey.
