Flood Death in Rock Valley Confirmed

A man who had been missing is now confirmed to have died in the flooding in northwest Iowa. Rock Valley Police Chief Monte Warburton reports that 52-year-old Kyle Kreykes of Rock Valley died as a result of flooding in Rock Valley over the weekend. Kreykes was listed as a missing person during the flooding, and Warburton says they found him late Monday afternoon. According to Warburton, Kreykes succumbed to injuries after the foundation of his house caved in, and a wall fell on him.

Kreykes’ funeral is scheduled for Saturday morning at 11 o’clock at the Immanuel Christian Reformed Church in Sheldon.  It’s the second confirmed flood-related death in the area. An Illinois man died when a pickup he was driving was swept away by flood waters on the east side of Spencer Saturday
