James Stoll
December 31, 2020
On December 31, 2020, a golden heart stopped beating. James C. Stoll, age 80, passed away at home with his wife, Carolyn, by his side.
Jim and Carolyn had been married 54 years after they met “scooping the loop” the summer of 1965. One smile from Jim and Carolyn’s heart was his. Jim loved the Hawkeyes and spending time with his family. Jim proudly served his country four years in the United States Air Force.
Jim was preceded in death by his baby girl, Dani Rae and his sons, Paul and Matt.
He is survived by his wife, Carolyn; daughter, Melissa Stoll (Brian Edmonds); sister, Joan Hatfield (Gene); grandchildren, Trish (Dan) Lemons, Tyler, Dylan and Ella Stoll; great-grandchildren, Caden, D. J., Chloe and Karter; several nieces, nephews and other family members.
Jim was loved by all who knew him and is already missed. Due to Covid, a celebration of life will be held in the spring. Burial will be at McDivitt Grove Cemetery, Urbandale on Friday, January 8, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. Masks and social distancing required.

To know Jim was to love him. I remember him being quiet, always willing to listen and the first to fall asleep. I loved and respected him so much and I just cant believe he is gone. Im going to miss his smile and the way he would always make everyone feel welcome. He loved his family so much. Now he's watching over you. Love you all and Im so sorry!

Dear Carolyn and Family,
I'm so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. What a reunion Jim is having with his children; Paul, Matt and Dani Rae.
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away. Rev 21:4
I pray God's comfort for the family during this sorrowful time.

I'm so truly sorry for your loss. Jim was one of the nicest, most decent people you would ever want to meet. I first met Jim through his Son Matt's relationship with my Cousin Lisa and their Son Tyler. He was a good guy and a wonderful person to know, and I'm very glad to have known him. I know he will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with you all right now. God Bless!
