John Berry Brock V

John Berry Brock V, age 45, passed away peacefully on October 19, 2026, at his home. He departed this life in the exact place he wished to be—surrounded by comfort, resting on his wife’s lap with his beloved cats nearby.

Born on November 23, 1980, John was a man of remarkable talent, passion, and warmth. Known for his infectious smile, he brought a unique energy and spirit into every room he entered. John was a master of his trades, excelling as a skilled HVAC installer and journeyman plumber through his dedication and hard work. Beyond his technical expertise, John expressed his creative flair in the kitchen as a chef. He loved creating unique and flavorful dishes, using food as a way to share comfort and joy with those around him.

An outdoorsman from an early age, John was an avid hunter and competitive sports shooter. In his younger years, his sharp focus and dedication earned him numerous medals and accolades in shooting competitions.

John was open and honest about life’s journey. Though he faced his own battles and personal challenges, he approached life with courage, continuously striving to become the best and most authentic version of himself. He openly acknowledged that he was not perfect and would sometimes fall short, but his heart remained grounded in what mattered most. Through every valley and victory, the steadfast constants in his life were his faith in Jesus and his deep, unbreakable bond with his beloved wife, Brandy Brock. John loved interacting with people in his own distinct, unforgettable way, leaving a lasting impression on everyone he met.

To lose John is to lose a piece of our hearts. His presence was unmistakable, his warmth irreplaceable, and his spirit unforgettable. His being, his deep soul, and the laughter and light he brought into our daily lives will be missed beyond measure. The void he leaves behind is vast, but the love he shared will echo in our hearts forever.

John was preceded in death by his grandparents, Dr. A. J. Wyble and wife Betty, and John Berry Brock III and wife Dianne; as well as his sister, Elizabeth “Lizzy” Jennings Brock.

His legacy of love lives on through his devoted wife, Brandy Brock; his mother, Janey Wyble Woodley; and his father, John Berry Brock IV and wife Lori.

He is survived by his brothers: Aaron Douglas Brock and wife Crystal (and their sons, Landon and Caden); Luke Valcour Brock and wife Katherine; and Jordan Taylor Spence and wife Lauren (and their daughter, Jayla).

John’s memory will be cherished by his children: Harley Elizabeth Brock, John “JB” Berry Brock VI, and Sterling Marshal Brock and their mother, Tamrey Brock; and his bonus children: Joshua Flake and wife Jade, Blaide Reagan and wife Shyanne, and Colt Reagan and wife Alex. He also leaves behind his precious bonus grandbabies: Hunter, Easton, Weston, and Sterling.
