Daily Inter-Lake | UPDATED 1 month, 3 weeks AGO
Marvin Paul Stocker, 63, went to be with the Lord, Sept. 27, 2025. He was born July 25, 1962, in Chelan, Washington, to Loren Marvin Stocker and Betty Nell Richards.
Paul married Lisa Stocker on May 22, 1993, and together they built a strong and loving family. He was a proud father of four sons, Jeremiah, Nathan, Austin, and Joe; and a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend.
In Sept. 2004, Paul and his family moved to Kalispell where he continued to purse his passion for trucking. In April 2010, he founded Paul Stocker Hauling, Inc., a business he built from the ground up through hard work, determination, and pride in what he did.
Paul loved trucking, scrolling through Facebook Marketplace for a good deal, hunting, four wheeling, and spending time with his sons. He could often be found at his shop — his favorite place to tinker, talk, and teach his boys. He had a big heart, a quick sense of humor, and a way of making everyone feel welcome.
Paul is survived by his loving wife, Lisa Stocker, his sons, Jeremiah (Savannah), Austin (Chelsey), and Joe (Sarah); grandchildren, Alyssa (Aaron), Georgia, Carson, Erika, and Colter; great-grandchildren, Lillian, Leilani, and Elijah. He is also survived by his mother, Betty Reed, sisters, Terri, Cheyenne, and Karen and brothers, David Dull, Steve Reed, Dave Reed, and Darrin Reed, and lots of nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his son, Nathan, his father, Loren and his beloved dog, Dozer.
He will be remembered for his love of family, his strong work ethic, his laughter, and his passion for life. He leaves behind a legacy built on hard work, love and unforgettable memories that will live on through all who knew him.
A celebration of life will be held at 1 p.m. on Nov. 1 at the Flathead County Fairgrounds in Kalispell.
