Ira L. Flock Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

1933-2018 Ira Lee Flock, age 84, of Belen, NM passed away on August 26th, 2018. He was born in Ellis, Oklahoma. Ira was always mechanically inclined and he chose the Air Force as his career. He proudly served in the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and did with a short stint in Saudi Arabia. Although he was taken as a POW, it didn’t stop him from courageously continuing his military career with bravery and honor. After his military career was over, Ira moved to Belen, NM with his wife Quyt Flock (deceased). Here he found a place where he could lay down roots. He opened a mechanics shop that he operated until age robbed him of the ability to do the work. Ira became a lifelong member of the Moose Lodge in 1976 and even served as its governor for a while, and he found friends that were with him throughout his life. He was also a lifetime member of the American Legion. He loved to hunt and fish, and when he could no longer participate in these activities due to his health, he turned his talented hands to woodworking. He taught himself how to make many things, his favorite being wooden whirly-gigs, and turning pens with a lathe. Ira lived a full life filled with love, friends, and family. He was preceded in death by Quyt Flock (wife), Mary Flock (daughter), Steven Flock (son), Charlie Flock (son), and Steven Richard Davis (grandson).
