Herb passed away unexpectedly yet, peacefully on May 16, 2015, at his home, Canterbury House Assisted Living in Sacramento, CA. He was born in Neely, AK and moved to Sacramento, CA in the early 1950’s.
Reunited in Heaven with his parents, William G Willock and Mary Etta Rose, his brothers and sisters, (twin) James Hubert Willock, Leroy Willock, Raymond Willock, William Willock, Margie McGarity and Bertie Hutson, and his step brothers and sisters, Wilbur Holt, Elmer Holt, Vera, Era and Reesie.
He is survived by his loving wife, Edith Faye Willock, of almost 59 years, his sons, Herbert Mark Willock and Hobert Glenn Willock and grandchildren, Herbert Mark Jr, Rachel and Patrick, and the countless nieces and nephews that he loved so dearly.
He was in the US Army and US Air Force Reserves. He worked for 36 yrs at McClellan Air Force Base as a Warehouse Supervisor. He also worked at the American Ice Company, Bank of America, and Mercy Hospital before retiring.
He loved the Lord and going to church. He loved preaching and reading the bible. He had been the Assistant Pastor, Adult Sunday School teacher and Deacon at the Friendly Tabernacle Pentecostal Church of God in Rio Linda, CA. He loved his family and family reunions. He always loved telling stories of growing up with his brothers and sisters in AK. His memory was vivid and colorful and humorous.
He will be deeply missed by everyone who’s heart he touched.
In the words of my father, “I Love You All Very Much”.
The family would like to thank the Canterbury House Assisted Living Facility for all their love, trust and care.
