Obituary

George Goffery Brock, 78 of Raymond, Mississippi passed peacefully on July 8, 2022 at Hospice Ministries in Ridgeland, Mississippi, with family by his side.

George, first child of John Edward and Bernadine E. (Trent) Brock born on May 31, 1944 in Taylor, Loup County, Nebraska.

George grew up on the Shovel Dot Ranch in Rose, Nebraska, where his family engaged in ranching for many years. He always said it was the best time of their lives, where hunting and fishing was in abundance, with a little work in between, of course. A Saturday night swim in the "crick" made for a refreshing trip to Bassett, 35 miles away. George graduated from Bassett High School in 1961.

George was drafted into the United States Army, in June 1965 at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. In April 1966, he was sent to Cu Chi, then onto Tay Nign, Vietnam for 1 year, being Honorably Discharged in April 1967.

George proudly attended various ceremonies, remembering and Honoring all those who fought before and after him. He was a very proud Vietnam Veteran and was active in the VFW.

In George's pass time, he got interested in and enjoyed working on his genealogical Tree and the "Brock Family History". He did an extended amount of research on the Brock family with great history information which was shared with all his family and was prideful of his family's history.

George was united in marriage to Nancy K. (Siegrist/Freeman) Brock on May 30, 1981. Together they reconstructed their families, living in Lincoln, Nebraska at first, where he drove a truck for Consolidated Freightways (CF). Later, moving to Beaver Crossing, Nebraska for a short time until CF was relocated him to Edwards, Mississippi. George loved the south and found it to be a great place to raise their son George Brock Jr. George received multiple, consecutive Safe Driving awards over the years which he was very proud of. After retiring in 2005, George and Nancy, moved to Lincoln, Missouri to be in a central location of both families.

In May 2020, after the loss of his wife, Nancy, of almost 39 years, George moved back to Raymond, Mississippi to be close to and help his youngest son, George Jr. and Amber and to be a part of his grandson Aubrey's activities. Planting beautiful flowers and feeding his birds was a high point for him. However, he did not enjoy those stinking squirrels that always got into his bird feeders.

George is survived by his son John Williams Brock, Omaha, Nebraska, Johnnie and Chole; daughter Wendy (Andy) Znamenacek of Grand Island, Nebraska, Gaven, Jaden, and Caleb; and son George and Amber (Barnette) Brock Jr of Raymond, Mississippi and Aubrey. Donald and Mary (Clayton) Freeman of Ozark, Missouri, Krislyn, Dustin, and Casey and families; Gary Freeman of Lincoln, Nebraska; Mike and Sally (Freeman) Williams and Jackson of Winter Park, Florida. He also leaves behind sister, Sharon K. (Brock) Jones and friend Ralph Hoxworth of Alliance, Nebraska, nieces Colette (Darrell) Johnson, Jessica, Paige, and families; Serena (Eric) Bremer, Jon and Daniel Marquez; and Tammy (Felix) DuBray, Shaina (Braxton) Brass, Seth and Trevor DuBray. His brother John E. and Kay (Friese) Brock of Alliance, Nebraska, niece and nephew; Chandra (Heath) Krug, Dalton and Jaiden; and Shawn (Kathy) Brock, Kel. Six great grandchildren along with cousins and host of many wonderful friends, who all held a special place in his heart.
