Funeral services for Kirby Doyle Reich, 89, of Theodosia, MO were held at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, September 26, 2020 in the Lutie True Hope Church, Theodosia, MO. Burial was in the Lutie Cemetery.

Mr. Reich passed away September 25, 2020 at his residence. He was born December 16, 1930 in Lutie, MO to Quincy Clarence and Shirley Ruby (Jones) Reich.

Kirby graduated from Gainesville High School. He said he cleared his land with his dad's help using chopping axes and a team of horses. Kirby was also a proud iron worker, saying he only had a #2 hat and a size 17 shirt.  He was a fun, loving man who made many friends over his life. He was the local "historian", there wasn't much about the Theodosia area that he couldn't recall. He will be remembered as a good friend, always smiling, and a laugh. He said he did it his way, but only with the grace of God. He will truly be missed but will see you in God's Kingdom.

He is survived by his wife, Robin Reich of the home; one son Von Reich and wife Stephanie; ten grandchildren; twenty-two great grandchildren; and a host of family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents Quincy and Shirley Reich; one sister Mona Woolridge; one daughter Terri Jackson; two sons Van Reich and Kirk Reich; and his second wife Deloris (Stumpfoll) Reich.

The family asks for contributions to be made to St Jude Children's Home; 501 St Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105-1942. Arrangements are by Clinkingbeard Funeral Home, Gainesville, MO.
