It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Chris Anthony Brock, a beloved brother, uncle, friend, and proud Texas Longhorn fan. Chris passed away at his home in Leonard, Texas, on August 29, 2025, at the age of 44.

Born on October 8, 1980, in Montana, Chris was known for his kind nature, generous heart, and unwavering warmth. He truly embodied the saying "never met a stranger," welcoming everyone with open arms and a bright smile. His vibrant personality lit up every room, leaving a lasting impression on all who were fortunate enough to know him.

A man of many passions, Chris had a special love for his cherished Ford trucks-especially his classic red 1971 and 1987 models. Whether he was cheering on his Texas Longhorns or cruising the open road, Chris lived life with joy and purpose, always reminding those around him to embrace the little things.

To Chris, friendship was never separate from family-his friends were his family. He built deep, lasting bonds with those around him, offering loyalty, laughter, and unconditional support. Whether you were related by blood or by choice, if Chris called you a friend, you were loved like family.

Chris is preceded in death by his mother, Lorena Nettles Langford.

He is survived by his father, Thomas Langford, and wife Velvet of Bonham; his sisters: Belinda Brock, and niece Jessica; Sarah Dinsmore and spouse Dana of Leonard, and nephews Bryan Beaver, Talen Dunn, great-nephew Tatum Beaver, and nieces Jocelynn Chappell, Avery Bray, and Ariah Bray; Vicki Hale and husband Phil of Honey Grove, and nephew John London; Bridgette Birdwell and husband Anthony of Bonham, and niece Grace-Ann Birdwell; along with numerous others who loved their Uncle Chris dearly and will forever hold his memory close.

A visitation will be held at Cooper-Sorrells Funeral Home on Thursday, September 4, 2025, at 3:00 PM. Following the visitation, a memorial service will take place at 4:00 PM, officiated by JC Thompson. In this time of sorrow, we gather to remember Chris's bright spirit and celebrate the joy he brought to so many lives.
