Taylor Lee Stack, 53, born in American Falls, Idaho, passed away at his home in Fallon, NV on Wednesday, Aug. 27 following a short illness.
For the past 38 years he worked in the hay business and deeply loved his work and the people in it. He loved raising and showing his longhorn cattle, enjoyed working with and riding his horses, as well as fishing, playing pool and traveling.
During the past four years he was co-chairman of the North American Cargo Securement Harmonization Committee and was instrumental in writing the new law for the securement of baled hay and straw.
Mr. Stack was a positive spirit and loved life. He always said "I'm not here for a long time just a good time."
Survivors include his partner-companion Valarie Furtado of Fallon; son and daughter-in-law Lee and Heather Stack, grandson Barron and granddaughter Kylee Ann, all of Stockton; son Tyler Stack of Reno; brothers Roland Stack of Hanford and Peter Stack of Grass Valley; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his son Taylor Lee Stack Jr.; parents Gary and Polly Stack; brother Garrett Stack; sister Sallie Lackey and brother-in-law Delmer Lackey.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, Sept. 6 at 2 p.m. at The Gardens Funeral Home in Fallon, NV.
Arrangements are under the direction of The Gardens.
