On December 4, 1950, Stan was born to Charlie Preston Brock and Olia Lurleen Grimes Brock in Freeport, Texas.

In August of 1977, their first son, Charlie Ray Brock was born and a few years later in June of 1981, their second son, Barrett Allen Brock was born. Stan enjoyed a long career with ExxonMobil which provided his family the opportunity to travel and reside in many different places. They spent 14 years raising the boys in Green River, Wyoming and from there they made an international move to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. During their travels they were blessed with the opportunity to make a lot of lifelong friends. In 2001, they finally made their way back to Texas where they resided in Tomball until moving to their dream home in 2009 in Montgomery, Texas. Stan and Sherry are members of the Montgomery United Methodist Church where Stan was faithfully involved in the Church community including the Cooking Ministry.

Stan was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and friend. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. “Life is fragile, handle with care!”

Stan and I go back to when we were toddlers at First United Methodist Church in Freeport. We grew up together at school, church, and Cub Scouts. Some of my earliest memories are of my dad taking me over to the Brock's house where their family had one of the best Lionel model train sets around. It was so big it had to be set up in the upstairs of their double garage. It probably covered three sheets of 5 x 9 plywood. I have a school photograph of our 1st grade class, and that day Stan was wearing his Cub Scout uniform. He was always a fine young man, and I will always remember his great optimism and manners. With Stan, it was always, "Yes Sir or No Sir, and Yes Ma'am or No Ma'am". I thank God most appreciatively for having had Stan as a good friend over the years.

Stan was a good friend. He was always welcome in our home and frequently would come over for our Christmas Eve spread my mom would put out. I wish I had known he was ill. He will be missed.

The company I am at worked with Stan on a training project for ExxonMobil a few years ago. I didn't realize he was the "Stan Brock" I went to school with until we met him for lunch one day. It's such a small world! Everyone here enjoyed working with him and always commented on what a nice guy he was. I know he will be missed by his family and friends. I received this link this morning with his obituary.

I remember Stan as a nice guy. That doesn’t sound like much these days in a world that seems to glorify and romanticize the macho muscular brute that makes the girls swoon and strikes fear into the hearts of just plain ol’ ordinary guys. But when you think about it, who would you want to stand by you when you need a friend to talk to or just be quiet with? Stanley Brock was that kind of person. I know the family and friends of Stan Brock will miss him terribly, but the Lord welcomed this man to glory with “well done, good and faithful servant.”
