obituary
Aaron Lee Bock
June 11, 1972 – March 2nd, 2022
With heavy hearts we share
the passing of Aaron Lee Bock
(Mailman). He transitioned from
this earth on Wednesday March
2nd, 2022 at the age of 49.
He was preceded in death by his
father Kenneth Bock, grandparents
Earl and Jane Bock, grandmother
Mae Watson. and grandparents Al
and Cathy McCune.
He is survived by his wife
Michele, mother Marcia Berry,
stepfather Ted Berry, brother
Colby Bock, sons Cameron and
Devon, grandfather Cecil Watson,
step-daughters Aryal and Alyssa,
and the love of Aaron’s life
grandaughter Caylee (Jo Jo).
Aaron was born on a sunny day
in Klamath Falls, Ore. on June 11,
1972. He graduated from Aloha
High School where he was on
both the water polo and swim
team. Aaron enlisted in the Navy
in 1990.
Both of Aaron’s sons
were born during his time in the
Navy; Cameron in Virginia Beach,
Virginia and Devon in Millington,
Tennessee. His grandfather Cecil’s
favorite memory of this time was
when he got to do a ride along on
the USS Lincoln with Aaron from
San Diego to Victoria, BC.
Aaron was most proud of his
Navy Career. He served three tours
in the Persian Gulf on both the USS
Eisenhower and USS Lincoln, and
serving during Operation Desert
Storm.
After the Navy, Aaron continued
as a public servant as a walking
mailman working for the United
AARON LEE BOCK
States Postal Service in Salem,
Oregon for 15 years. He made
many lifelong friends during this
time.
Outside of work Aaron stayed
busy with his sons Cameron
and Devon’s soccer and baseball
games. Aaron also loved bowling
and he competed in tournaments
as far away as Reno, Nevada with
his wife Michele by his side.
Aaron was recently able to spend
40 days in Oklahoma helping his
son Cameron renovate his newly
purchased home.
Aaron was a true warrior in his
fight against glioblastoma for five
and a half years. He participated
in two clinical trials, one at OHSU
and the other most recently at
the Ivy Brain Tumor Center in
Arizona. He truly hoped that his
participation would help others.
With gratitude we would like to
recognize Michele Bock, Dr. Leslie
Garber, Dr. Janell Meyers and
Hospice for all their help and Care.
Aaron- you will be missed more
than words can convey.
A Memorial Service will be
held at 10:00 a.m. on March 21 at
Virgil T. Golden Funeral Home,
followed by a graveside service at
Willamette National Cemetery at
1:30 p.m. All are welcome.
