Timothy Hock Obituary

Timothy Alan Hock of Midland, passed away peacefully on Saturday night (Feb. 6, 2016) surrounded by friends and loved ones.
Tim worked as an Instrument Technician at The Dow Chemical Company for more than 40 years. Tim was an avid Sportsman and die-hard Harley-Davidson enthusiast. When Tim wasn't Fishing the local lakes or hunting the woods as his Father Lewis had taught him as a little boy, Tim was out riding his beloved Harley all over Michigan and throughout the Midwest attending many Sturgis and Daytona Beach Rally's. Some of his best times were surrounded by his best friends yachting, deep-sea fishing, attending baseball games, camping, or riding adventures to the U.P. The room would always know when Tim arrived as his roarous laughter could be heard in any corner and would invite all to be around him. Tim also had a great love for his family as he could always be counted on for his guidance or support as his generosity knew no boundaries when his family was concerned.
Tim was preceded in death by his Father Lewis C. Hock and survived by his mother Lois Hock, his sisters Connie Pavlowski (Richard), and Cindy Thurlow (John), and his nephews Benjamin Pavlowski, Joshua Pavlowski, John Thurlow, and his niece Denise Bogz. Tim will be truly missed, but everyone who knew Tim is a better person for knowing him.
A memorial service took place 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 13, 2016 from the Ware Smith Woolever Funeral Chapel, 1200 West Wheeler Street with Rev. Joseph Atchinson officiating. Tim's family received friends at the funeral home on Saturday from 2 p.m. until time of the service. Those planning an expression of sympathy are asked to consider the Toni and Trish House.

It is hard to express the sadness that I feel for my Aunt Lois and the girls to have lost two wonderful men so close together. But the gates of heaven opened widely excepting two wonderful men who made such an impression on all of us. As I know our large hock family will all be reunited in a place of peace and serenity. But for now we have the memories of our loved ones they would not want us to cry for them but to celebrate their lives as they felt blessed to be able to share their time with us. GOD BLESS YOU TIM

Tim was an awsome neighbor. We spent a many a time sharing our love of our Harleys and how lucky we were to be part of that family. I will really miss making him take a break from his yard work when he had so many thing to do.. He so bad wanted to finish his Mom's house and toward the end it was so important to him to have all his ducks in a row for his family. What a great friend, I will really miss him!
