Lawrence (Larry) Dalbinea Bock passed away October 17, 2026, at the age of 68. He succumbed to glioblastoma, a form of brain cancer, after a valiant 7-month fight. He was born in Fort Gordon, Georgia, on October 22, 1957, to Henry and Martha Bock. He was married to Kim for 44 years, and was a loving father to Kelly and Kevin.
Larry was a man of God, a good and faithful servant, who spent considerable time bringing people closer to Jesus. From ACTS retreats to Lovestrong marriage retreats, Larry dedicated his adult life to sharing his faith with others. He also generously gave his time to several non-profit organizations. He served as the executive director of ACTS Missions, on the executive committee of Lovestrong, and as a board member, executive officer, and secretary of the North East Educational Foundation (NEEF).
Known for his dedication and passion for whatever he set his mind to, he embraced challenges such as running marathons, riding his bike across Iowa, and swimming to an island in the middle of Lake Buchanan. His most recent adventure was a pilgrimage to Portugal and Spain to walk the Camino de Santiago. All of these feats were accomplished with minimal training but with immense focus on completing the journey at hand.
Larry attended Texas A&M University and earned his Bachelor of Business Administration in Information Systems from UTSA. He continued his education with a Master's of Business Administration from Our Lady of the Lake University.
His professional career spanned three major corporations: PMG, EDS, and USAA. This work gave him the opportunity to travel to Korea, Mexico City, Manila, Dubai, and India, which sparked his lifelong love for travel.
Larry is survived by his wife, Kim; daughter, Kelly (Kira); son, Kevin (Michael); brothers, Mike (Laura) and Doug (Allison); sister, Mickey (Tim); and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Henry and Martha, as well as his sister, Cecilia Johnson, and her husband, Jim.
