Jarrod "JB" Bock

Jarrod “JB” Bock, 25, of Princeton, passed away Tuesday, April 9, 2019 at Deaconess Gateway Hospital in Newburgh, as the result of a stroke. He was born February 18, 1994 in Houston, TX and had resided in Princeton since June of 2004, coming from Texas. He was a graduate of Princeton Community High School, class of 2013, and was employed with Toyota Enclave and the ARC of Gibson County. JB was involved in Special Olympics, competing in basketball, track, and power lifting. He was an avid fan of Princeton Community High School sports, and always enjoyed watching his siblings in their events. He also loved to dance and would often steal the floor at wedding receptions, taking the attention off the bride. Jarrod was very excited about becoming an uncle for the first time.  He never met a stranger and always shared a smile, handshake, or one of his famous hugs.

JB is survived by his loving parents, Darrin and Carol Bock of Princeton; 3 siblings, Rachael Degener (Mark) of Waterloo, IL, Meghan Bock and Gerit Bock of Princeton; his maternal grandmother, Frances Hippensteel of Princeton; his paternal grandparents, Marvin and Karen Bock of Godfrey, IL; also, numerous relatives near and far.
