DONALD EUGENE KUCK
April 11, 1935 September 17, 2019
On September 17, 2019 Donald Eugene Kuck went to heaven at the age of 84 in Colorado Springs surrounded by family. Don was born April 11, 1935 in Snyder, Colorado to Jacob and Ida Kuck.
Don grew up in Snyder Colorado. He married Anna Marie Bass on May 3, 1953 and they were married for 65 years. Don and Anna moved to Colorado Springs in1956. They attended Assembly of God churches, New Life Church and most recently he felt at home at Church on the Ranch where he could wear his cowboy hat and boots.
During his life Don spent most of his career working for Safeway where he greeted customers with a smile that could light up a room.
Don was affectionately known by his family as "Dad"or "Papa." Anyone who spent any time with Papa loved him. He was a hero in his family for the unconditional love he showed and the hope in Jesus he pursued. His witty sarcasm and creative songs brought joy to everyone around him. Papa enjoyed long car rides and travel of any kind. He also liked western movies, especially those featuring John Wayne.
Don is survived by his three sons Barry Kuck, Austin Kuck, and James Kuck; a daughter Dana Smith and two foster children Bob Bennett and Denise (Bennett) Willey. Don leaves behind twelve grandchildren, several great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Don was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers, two sisters, his loving wife Anna Marie, a
son Curtis and a daughter Christine Sprinkle.

Dad,
Thanks for being a great dad that you didn't have to be to me. Even tho I didn't get adopted you still call me a daughter. I'll be missing our talks about alot of things, like the bible, going to heaven, family, life on Earth, movie's and some actor's and actress that we use to know and their gone. Never ran out of things to talk about. I can say you have left your great marking on Earth on about Jesus and how we use to pray. You've done your mission well you faithfully completed it. You're celebration has just begun and I know we'll miss you alot here and you won't be forgotten. I will meet you and all other love ones one day. Again thank you Jesus for letting me know and spend time with a great person called "Dad" on Earth.

Dad.....
I love you and I will truly miss you. You was a loving, kind, and very understanding dad to me. I know that I had chose to distance myself from you in the past, but you and mom never stopped caring, or loving me from the distance. I'm so glad that we reconnected before it was too late. I'm sorry that I couldn't make it to see you on your last day, before you went to Heaven, but I will always remember us saying those last words,"I Love You".
Your daughter, Dana......
