Otto Brock Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 28, 2025.
Las Cruces - It is great sadness to share the death of Otto S. Brock, Jr., Sept. 1, 1936 - Nov. 30, 2024.

Otto was the youngest of three children born in Detroit, MI, to Otto, Sr., and Opal Brock.

Otto joined the Navy after high school serving aboard the USS Harry E. Hubbard (DD748) 1956-1957.

He worked for TRW in Redondo Beach, CA for 30 years as a System Engineer on satellites that took him to many parts of the world, adventures, and finally settled down in Las Cruces in 1979.

Otto is survived by his wife, Charlene, of 45 years, his sister Barbara, together with a blended family of seven children and many grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

At his request, the Navy will bury him at sea, the love of his life.
