I met Brock last year.
When I searched for lawyer of our company.
After some time we became good friends.
I tried to support him when he was under emotional stress. he succeeded  to overcome that crisis and to resume normal life.
Then I heard of the sudden deterioration of his health that ended
with death.

I knew for short time but I miss him so much.

I’m a member of the church Brock has joined, and I was the missionary who interviewed him for baptism. He was one of the first baptismal interviews I ever got to do on my mission, but he had to have been one of my favorites. His story was amazing, and I won’t share all of it with you, but it involved him meeting a wonderful woman and a dream. A dream of something he knew nothing about, but she did. A dream that led her coming back to church, and him finding it. A dream that brought him to Jesus Christ and His restored gospel. A dream that brought the two of them together. 
It is because of this restored gospel that I know I’ll see my friend Brock again one day.
When I sat down to interview Brock for his baptism, it immediately felt like he was an old friend and we were catching up. I could tell very shortly into that interview that this man had found Christ, and that he was changing his life and was full of joy because of it. We would talk for the next hour, one of the longest interviews I have done, but I loved every minute of it. I could tell how much this was changing him and how much he loved this church and knew it to be true. He bore his testimony to me multiple times throughout that interview, and I will never forget how the both of us felt. He was ready, if I’ve ever seen it.
It always seems unfair when things like this happen. This isn’t the first time I’ve had a friend pass away around a year after their baptism. I question why it would have to happen.
But the two friends of mine that I’ve had this happen, they were two of the strongest converts I’ve seen, with inspiring stories and powerful testimonies. I know God has a plan, even if I’m confused, hurting, and don’t understand it.
Because like I’ve mentioned, I know I’ll see him again. I know there is life after death. I know in whom I trust, and I know what He has promised. 
I love you Brock, and I’m so grateful to have been a part of your journey in the gospel. You were and are an inspiration to me.

Some photos of our UMBC hijinks. Never a dull moment!

Elders Fox, Griffith and Scott.  The BEST missionaries!!

Brock had a new found love of overalls!  He wore them with his red suede dance sneakers!  ❤️

We had so many plans for this year.  We were to have been married in February, possibly on Valentine's Day.  We were going to elope to the bishop's office!  We were so happy and excited!

Last few days of June 2023, Fisherman's Wharf, Monterrey, CA with Brock, Rebecca, Alex and his new little otter.

Brock and Beck in Monterrey, CA - summer of 2023.

I lived getting dressed up together.  Dancing all night long was the BEST!

I am so happy I got to share my love of pho with you!!  Brockie and Becky forever ❤️

He loved music and hanging with friends.
This is Brock, Rebecca and friend Tunde Cianflone.

Oliver is in good hands and getting extra treats.  He misses your soft, kind pats and his snuggle buddy.

Brock, Rebecca, Nick and Alex at family night every Monday from 7-9 PM.  Your laugh and happiness will be missed, Brock.

Here is Brock, Rebecca, Alex, Sister Steele and Sister Bell.

Dancing with his fiancé was a favorite... he always shook his tooshie and made us giggle.

With his "God son" soon to be step son, Alexander Mohammed.

Rebecca,

I understand how you are feeling. Brock helped me when my partner of 30 years passed away in 2021. Brock was the best! He would help others as if no one else in the world existed at the moment. His attention to the task at hand was loyal to the end. We shared a lot of laughs over the past couple of years. As long as you keep his memory, he will always be in your heart and watching over you. May God bless you now and always. May Brock RIP. Gone but never forgotten. 💖😇🙏

I met Brock the end of last year. He left an imprint on my heart. He was a genuine and caring person. I remember one of the last things he told me was, I should join him and Rebecca for West coast swing. I am perfectly sure heaven has a beautiful ballroom, so I will be looking forward to dancing together. This isn’t goodbye although it feels that way. I will definitely see you again at the pearly gates of heaven. May your beautiful soul rest in heavenly peace🙏🏾💜

Here is Brock with his Scoutmaster and surrogate grandfather David Bastien and his mother Genevieve Smuck.  Brock was an Eagle Scout and won Boy Scout of The Year in the State of Maryland in 1996.

This was Brock's first fundraiser with a ballroom dance floor... his first time social dancing in public and he LOVED it!  Rebecca, Brock and some Arthur Murray friends dressed up and danced the night away with Dr. and Mrs. Larry Panlilio-Yapp.

We had so much fun laughing and talking, hanging out with Sonny, Dawson and friends.  The Monroes are like family and were responsible for Rebecca and Brock getting together.  We are eternally grateful 🙏

Brock - You were Sonny Monroe's first time... dancing with a man!  😆    You had fun trying to teach him to swing dance.  Rebecca Mohammed is standing by.

Such a handsome young man!

His birth father, Richard, took him to get these pictures.  He was a beautiful baby!

"Emotional Support Persons", aka ESPIEs, Rebecca Mohammed and Brockston Posner Smuck at Rebecca's brokerage Keller Williams' 2023 award gala.  We danced the night away.  Everyone left while we were still dancing and before we knew it, we were the last ones there.  The DJ played us a bachata song to close out the night with one final dance.

Aunt Denise took little Brock to get this photo.  So Cute!  🥰

"He was such a sweet boy"

I knew this great man since high school and I’m proud to say he was my friend.  Myself and my wife are devastated by his passing and my thoughts go out to his fiancé and family.

I worked as a bailiff when Brock was an ASA in Baltimore City.  He was the nicest person to work with. Always mild mannered and respectful of everyone he contacted. 

His loss is felt by eveveryone who had the pleasure of knowing him. RIP Brock.

Brock was such a sweet guy and a wonderful dancer. I enjoyed discussing dancing and video games with him. I didn't know him for very long and wish we had more time to get to know each other. My condolences to his fiancee, family and loved ones.

Dear Brock, 
although we have never  met in person, 
I will miss our conversations about 
cats and video games, Japanese whiskies 
And I’ll never forget your famous snack reviews, they were truly the best!

Thanks for being a friend.

Jesse

Brock and I went to St. Philip Neri Catholic School together way back in the early 90’s. He was always such a good friend and quite the character. So many fond memories of him. May you rest in peace, Brock.

Brock & Rebecca House Warming (January 20, 2024)

Brock was an original, always authentic and incredible fun. From his contagious laugh to his sharp wit he was always a joy to be around. I met Brock during his days in Ellicott City where he worked at his stepfather’s shop. We became fast friends after one conversation. There were many days spent playing chess, eating all the sushi or driving to NoVa for Egyptian food. The entire time was filled with laughs and singing our hearts out to whatever he had playing in his Jeep. Under the smiles though he was deep, reflective,  and powerfully intelligent. A caring soul that would do anything for those he loved. I never thought he’d be gone so soon.  I am grateful for his friendship. I’m glad that in the last year of his life he got to truly experience love, peace, and happiness. He was one of the good ones and he will be sorely missed.

So sorry for your loss. Thinking of and praying for your family during this difficult time.

This is a picture of Brock with my son Greg when my parents (Brock's Great Aunt Rita and Great Uncle Don) lived next door. I live in this house now, and I have missed seeing Brock here. He and Rebecca were able to come to the house once, and I was looking forward to seeing them many more times, but God intends me to wait until it's my turn to see him... and my parents... in heaven. I will miss you, lovely, sweet Brock.

Brock was unapologetically himself. And that is what I loved most about him. May his memory be a blessing.

This is a tragic reminder of the time we have and the ways we share it with others.  Brock was always good company and a colleague ready to help with the details that make practice better for everyone.

Brock was a great guy who I will always love and remember.
