Dwight Charles “Chuck” Brock, age 81, of Bryan, Ohio, is free at last and home with Jesus, passing away at 8:18 P.M. on Friday, December 10, 2021, at Promedica Toledo Hospital after a brief illness.
Mr. Brock attended high school in Arizona and trained in sheet metal and pipe fitting and loved to work with his hands.
He served his country honorably in the United States Army as a combat engineer in Vietnam, followed by decades of PTSD, which took a toll on his life and family.
He battled back time after time, using his skills to serve at Jesus People in Chicago and at Elohe Village in Kentucky.
He built cedar chests for family, befriended people battling illness, cooked meals for his church, and enjoyed a few good friends, his support dog “Buddy” and visits with family.
Survivors include his wife, Jennifer (Hoag) Brock; one daughter, Lisa (Brock) Sanco; one son, Dwight Brock, Jr.; grandchildren, Monty, Josh, Ashlee and Austin; three brothers, Ronald Brock, Jerry Brock, and Trent Brock; one sister, Marita Brock; his in-laws, Phil and Rosa Lee Janaro, Jonathan and Shelley Hoag, Daniel and Patience Hoag, and Bob and Mary Lloyd, along with thirteen in-laws and nieces and nephews that he teased and called the house apes.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Dwight Moody and Elizabeth (English) Brock; a brother, Roger Brock; and a grandson, Beau.
