Donald Keith Stockard (Duck) of Plano, Texas, passed away suddenly on February 9, 2018, at the age of 72, surrounded by family. He was born and reared in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, along with his five siblings. Don graduated from Sapulpa High School in 1963 and was drafted by the New York Mets, but he chose to attend college. He received a Bachelor of Science in Education from Northeastern State College in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, and subsequently received a Master of Education from Northeast Louisiana State College in Monroe, Louisiana. In his early career, Don was a teacher and coach. His true expertise was in sales, whether it was cars, trucks, or insurance. His desire to serve others led him to being a volunteer for the Texas Veterans as a VA accredited claims agent. He was an active member of his church, where he had served as an usher and most recently as a Eucharistic Minister. Don was a great athlete, loved sports of all kinds, and was an avid fan of the University of Oklahoma Sooners. He loved traveling, golfing, exercising, dining, and socializing with friends. The most treasured moments of his life were spent being a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He was incredibly humble, never met a stranger, and was loved by all who knew him. Don is survived by his loving wife of 36 years, Virginia; his daughters, Cheryl Shoffner Jordan, Cindy Shoffner Duggan, and Allison Stockard Painich, and his son-in-law, Joey Painich.
