Brian Keith Bock

Brian Keith Bock, 58, passed away on July 20, 2026, in Gate City, Virginia.

Born on February 2, 1968, Brian was the son of Robert and Ida Mae Bock. He lived a life filled with creativity, faith, music, and a deep appreciation for the outdoors.

Brian was a gifted graphic artist whose talent was evident in everything he created. While he enjoyed sketching and painting, he was especially known for his beautifully painted custom guitars, transforming each one into a unique work of art. His creativity left a lasting impression on all who knew him.

Music was one of Brian’s greatest passions. He loved playing the guitar and singing, performing in a band during his younger years and later sharing his faith by singing worship songs at church. A devoted Christian, Brian found comfort and purpose in his relationship with God, and his faith remained an important part of his life.

When he wasn’t creating art or making music, Brian enjoyed spending time outdoors, playing with RC cars, and caring for his dogs, which brought him great happiness.

About a year ago, Brian was blessed to have Christina enter his life. She cared for him with deep love and devotion, always putting his needs before her own. She lovingly took him to all of his appointments and tended to his every need. Christina remained by his side and was with him until his last breath. The Bock siblings are deeply grateful for Christina’s dedication and the loving care she gave Brian.

Brian is survived by his daughter, Miranda Bock; his stepson, Dominic; and his siblings, Carolyn Dickinson, Robert Bock, Jennifer Black, Timothy Bock, Lisa Black and Joel Bock. He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Ida Mae Bock.

Brian will be remembered for his artistic talent, his love of music, his unwavering faith, and the kindness he shared with those around him. His legacy lives on through the lives he touched, the art he created, and the music he loved. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Beyond his closest friends and family, Brian touched the lives of all those that worked with him at Herbal Care.  And although he will be greatly missed, his passion and talents remain an inspiration to each person who was lucky enough to know him.  

There will be no formal services for Brian.
