Dwayne Fred Hook
February 1, 1951 — January 10, 2015
Dwayne F. Hook was a believer in hard work, dedication, and honesty. He was a devoted father, farmer and friend. He died on January 10, 2015, at the age of 63 in his home surrounded by his loving family. Cremation rites have been accorded. A celebration of life gathering will be held 1:00 p.m., Saturday, January 31, 2015, at the Tipton Auction House in Thomson. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been established. Memorials will be given to the Thomson Fire and Rescue.
Dwayne was born on February 1, 1951, the son of Fred and Bernice (Hass) Hook in Clinton, Iowa. He attended York Community High School, Thomson and graduated with the Class of 1969. Dwayne married Cindy Sikkema on September 10, 1977 in Morrison, Illinois.
Dwayne farmed and lived his entire life on the family farm. Farming was more than a job, it was Dwayne's way of life. Dwayne made his rounds, driving around the farms to check on things every day. He enjoyed tractor pulls and was a member of the Badger State Tractor Pullers. Tractor pulling started almost 40 years ago for Dwayne in the antique class. His tractor of choice then was a John Deere "G". He then moved up to a faster paced class, entering the pro stocks in 1988. He purchased an International 966 which he later named T-bone, inspired by the large numbers of beef cattle on the farm. Dwayne loved to compete and cherished the friendships he made over the years. Most of all he enjoyed working with his son in this hobby. He was dedicated to the sport and very rarely missed a pull. Dwayne enjoyed going to town to meet the guys for coffee at Dusty’s and The Station. Dwayne loved spending time with his family and friends.
Dwayne will be dearly missed by one son, Dustin (Amy Durward) Hook of Fulton, Illinois; three brothers, Edward “Ed” Hook of Thomson, Richard “Dick” (Sandy) Hook of West Des Moines, Iowa and Larry (Sharon) Hook of Thomson; and one sister, Cheryl (Michael “Micky”) Paston of Sterling, Colorado.
Dwayne was preceded in death by his parents and a sister-in-law, Sharon Hook.
