Donald Brock
Donald L. Brock, age 82, of Celina, Ohio, passed away peacefully on August 4, 2025, at Celina Manor.
Born on December 19, 1942, in Celina, Don was the son of the late Paul and Della (Long) Brock. On June 20, 1970, he married the love of his life, Patty Sue (Wicker) Brock, who preceded him in death on January 12, 2023. Together, they built a life rooted in love, family, and faith.
Don is survived by his devoted children: Jennifer Mescher of Celina; Robert "Bob" (Megan) Brock of Piney Flats, Tennessee; and Ryan Brock of Hopatcong, New Jersey. He was a proud grandfather to four grandchildren: Kyle (Jessica) Balthis, Callie Mescher (Bryan Neal), Kate Brock, and Will Brock; and a loving great-grandfather to Myles, Wade, Theo, and Blair Balthis.
He is also survived by his sisters, Betty Crimble of Paris, Tennessee, and Nancy Wallace of Celina; as well as brothers- and sisters-in-law: Tom (Angie) Wicker of St. Marys, Peg (Gary) Meiring of Minster, Terry (Kris) Wicker of Florida, Jay Wicker of Lima, Lana Wicker of St. Marys, and Karen Wicker of St. Marys.
