Brock is being remembered as incredibly enthusiastic with an outgoing personality and a great sense of humour according to his obituary.
“He loved the great outdoors and enjoyed mountain biking, dirt biking, 4 wheeling, snowmobiling and would never turn down an opportunity to go fishing or hunting. He was a hardworking and dedicated young man. For the past four years, he took pride in working on the farm at Brethour Stables. He was a fierce and fun competitor in both high-level hockey and rugby, recently picked to play with Ontario Rugby. Brock was very kind and loving and his endless smile will never be forgotten.” read the online obituary.
He leaves behind his parents, Rick and Diane, and sisters, Tess and Della. Donations are being accepted to assist the family during this difficult and unexpected tragedy.
