Thomas C. Brock
June 13, 1949 – May 5, 2026
Thomas Coy Brock, 76, peacefully passed away into eternal life and love on May 5, 2026 in The Villages, Florida. He was born June 13, 1949 in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, and spent his youth in Barnet, Vermont enjoying the company of his brothers and childhood friends. Tom was a proud US Army veteran, serving our country during the Vietnam war.
Tom was predeceased by his parents, Mary (Main) and Leonard Jackson Brock, his brother Robert James Brock and Bob’s first wife Carolyn, and his father-in-law Dean Rowden. He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Nancy Rowden Brock, his brother Alan Leonard Brock, sister-in-law Susan (Alan) Brock, sister-in-law BettyAnn (Bob) Brock, aunt Beverly (Dick) Brock, and mother-in-law Babe Rowden. He is also survived by a large extended family of Brock and Rowden cousins, nieces and nephews, brothers- and sisters-in-law, his long-time friends Anthony DiBlasi, Mark Tuft, and Chuck Butson, and his beloved Golden Retriever Sunshine.
Tom greatly valued the people in his life, including the friendships he maintained with his St. Johnsbury Academy classmates, fellow Vietnam vets, colleagues at Ford Motor Company, neighbors in Waterbury Center, Vermont, customers of New England Millwrights, congregants of Barnet Church, and members of the Lake Mansfield Trout Club. His open smile, thoughtful kindness, quiet competence, and dry sense of humor will be missed.
Tom’s family appreciate your thoughts, prayers, and words of support. Arrangements for a memorial service have not been established.
