Start: 2021-01-30T19:00:00.000Z

York County – With great sadness but deep peace, the family announces the passing of Arthur Wayne Block, 72. Gentle, faithful husband. Kind and joyful father. Fun and beloved grandfather. Gifted, warm teacher. Above all, lover of his Savior Jesus. The love of Jesus so filled "Art" that anyone who met him loved him.

While there are so many accomplishments that could be mentioned, it is his loving spirit and unwavering faith in God's Word that he so generously bestowed on his wife, sons, precious daughter, daughters-in-love, grandchildren, extended family, many friends and anyone he met, that was his greatest work here on Earth.

He leaves behind his beloved wife, Pat; sons, Daniel and wife Katie, Austin and wife Leah, Aaron and wife Emily; daughter, Monica; nine grandchildren: Anna, Dietrich, Belle, Genevieve, Joel, Isaac, Olivia, Henry and Julia; his brother, Ed; sister, Maureen; and many dear friends. There will be a Celebration of Life Service at New Covenant Church (1079 Big Bethel Road, Hampton, VA) on Saturday, January 30 at 2:00 p.m. In light of safety guidelines, please RSVP to attend in person or to receive livestream information at: https://ncchampton.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/158/responses/new. To contact the church please call 757-838-8700 or e-mail [email protected]. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Channel to Brazil for Christ (thechannel.org), CareNet Peninsula (cnpeninsula.org), and the Seed Company (seedcompany.com). Arrangements are being handled by Amory Funeral Home, Grafton.

We have known Art since early 1980’s and have been blessed to know him. He helped us not only with insurance needs, but more importantly spiritual concerns. The service was a blessing to watch and we from a distance honored this humble godly man. May God comfort his family during this time .

We are were so sad to hear of Art's homegoing. He was a walking bible and a great man and great testimony of Christ. Our prayers are with your family as you continue to run the race for Christ. I know he was proud of his children and grandchildren. "May all who come behind us find us faithful". What a huge addition to heaven, but our loss. May God give you peace, healing and strength. Your family will always have a special place in our hearts.

Dear Pat and Family -

We are so sorry to hear about Art's passing. May the Lord comfort you and give you peace.

Art was a wonderful neighbor of ours who always gave us a smile and wave hello. Art was a very pleasant and kind man. He will be missed.

Pat and family,

It is with great sadness I offer my condolences to you along with those of your other friends and family. The one permanent memory of Art that I will always treasure, beyond his persistent smile, was the knowledge in my mind that if Art said - it was true.

Although I did not know Art very well, I knew him through his wife, Pat, and the homeschool group, also as a teacher at New Covenant Church. I am so sorry for your loss, Pat. I can only imagine what you are feeling my love and prayers to you and your beautiful family❤

Dear Pat & Family,

I count it a blessing from our Lord to have crossed paths with Art in my earthly journey. He gave me godly advise about financial matters and always prayed with me. I will miss him but know I'll see him again in Heaven. I have been praying for you all. Your obituary for Art was truly a God-honoring tribute. Love in Christ,

Arthur was a wonderful person who was generous and kind at heart and a true reflection of Jesus shown through him. Who is now going to do my taxes? If he was alive and heard it - he would laugh and now he is smiling. I look forward to seeing him again in glory. He was truly a blessing to so many.

We are infinitely thankful for the man Art Block was, and especially his devotion to his family — his incredible testimony has been evident to us in his son, our brother-in-law, Aaron Block, from whom we receive great joy in having in our family. Praying for comfort during this difficult time, and that the Lord would feel so very near. Much love, the Vogels.
