G.S. Brock Obituary (1936

On August 15, 2021 about 2:21 a.m., the death angel came to our community and took from our family circle our beloved friend. G.S. was born May 5th, 1936 in Laurel County, Kentucky, the son of the late Charlie and Daisy Chadwell Brock. He was united in marriage to Emily Bowling Brock who along with his parents preceded him in death. Those left to mourn his passing is a special friend, Jennifer Garland and a host of many other friends. G.S. worked for the State Highway Department and retired in 1999 after working 28 years. One statement G would make with a smile was that he could driver better backwards than most people could forward. G.S. was affiliated with the East Salem United Baptist Church, he staked his claim in Heaven the year of 2005 serving the Lord and waiting to claim his eternal prize. He sung the old-time songs and sent up praises unto the Lord for anyone that called upon him until he no longer had breath to sing the songs of Zion. He bore his afflictions with patience, and was always cheerful unto the end. It grieves us so to give up this precious loved one. Many words could be written in memory of G.S. and still many of his charming ways cannot be explained. We hope that someday his shining face and extended arms will be waiting to greet us when we reach home. The home that’s prepared for all those who follow the way of the cross faithfully to the end. The Lord giveth and taketh. Blessed be His holy name. Funeral services for G. S. Brock will be held on Thursday, August 19, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. in the chapel of House-Rawlings Funeral Home.
