Robert J. Shock Sr.
"Boe"
Born December 16,1945, to Alfred Shock and Mildred Redmond of Brownsville, PA, passed unexpectedly at the age of 78 on Sunday, July 21, 2024, in his home on Merriam Road in Wellsburg.
Boe is survived by his loving wife of 62 years, Blanche Shock (Crawford) of Wellsburg, NY and their children Robert Shock Jr. (Tina S.), Brenda Shock (Ed M.), Gary Shock, Holly Clark (Stephen C.), and Stephanie Shock (Chrystal) as well as many of their grandchildren; Courteney, Olivia, Kallie, Alex, Heather, Brittney, Zach, Justin, Megan, Keston, Jayden, Jessica, Cheyenne, Bailey, Adam, Cody, Cassie, Matthew, Robert, Carrie, Brother Everett Shock (Elsie S.), and a slew of great grandchildren and great great grandchildren. He is predeceased by his parents, most of his siblings, his beloved son Tim, and his precious grandchildren Brandie, Matt, and Brandon.
Boe was a wonderful father, husband, and grandpa. He was a jack of all trades who loved to be outdoors, unless he was in the kitchen whipping up something delicious for his loved ones. His family will remember him fondly and he will be deeply missed.
There will be no funeral service and the family will be holding an intimate private graveside service in its place. Boe will be laid to rest with his beloved son Tim in the town of Ashland.
