Tony Stock

Konrad A. “Tony” Stock, 62, of Kentland, Indiana, passed away on May 25, 2026, at IU Health Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana. Born on January 17, 1964, in Gary, Indiana, Tony’s life was marked by a profound dedication to his family, his faith, and the art of working with his hands.

Tony attended North Newton High School, where he began nurturing the skills that would define his lifelong passion for woodworking. His remarkable talent brought to life many cherished creations, including china cabinets, clocks, and decks. Among his proudest achievements was remodeling an old farmhouse alongside his son Mason, a testament to the strong bond they shared. Beyond woodworking, Tony enjoyed tinkering with cars, rebuilding motors, and refurbishing lawnmowers to sell, all reflections of his inventive spirit and hands-on approach to life.

Tony was a man of strong personality — stubborn, outgoing, and known for his quick wit and sense of humor. A true jokester, he delighted in playful teasing and fondly engaging with those around him. His warmhearted nature was evident in his love for shooting, hosting lively cookouts with family, playing dice games, sharing coffee outings, and spending quality time with loved ones. Birds also brought him joy, symbolizing the gentle side of this multifaceted man.

Faith was an integral part of Tony’s life. He was affiliated with Victorious Life Assembly of God in Remington, Indiana, where his spiritual community was a source of comfort and strength.

Tony is lovingly survived by his partner Cherie Carlson; his four children, Misty (Chris) Dunfee, Ashley (Bud) Stock, Conrad (Hayley) Stock, and Mason Stock; and six grandchildren, Kurtis Dunfee, Serenity Dunfee, Desareigh Stock, Ahrien Stock, Eylah McAdams, and Marleigh Stock. He also leaves behind his two brothers, Steve Stock and Dean (Ellen) Stock. Tony was preceded in death by his father, Stephan Stock, and his mother, Delores (Yoder) Stock.

A visitation to celebrate Tony’s life will be held on Monday, June 1, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. CDT at Steinke Funeral Home of Rensselaer. This will be followed by a funeral service at 12:00 p.m. CDT at the same location. Burial will be at Fairlawn Cemetery in Kentland, Indiana at a later date.

Tony Stock’s legacy is one of craftsmanship, laughter, unwavering love for family, and a spirited zest for life that touched all who knew him. His memory will continue to inspire and bring warmth to those he leaves behind.

Steinke Funeral Home is honored to be handling the arrangements.
