&nbsp;Bruce Morock passed into the presence of his Lord and Savior, on Saturday, October 1, 2022, after a long battle with cancer. His loving wife, Lynda, their daughter Micaiah, son-in-law Anthony and two of their grandchildren were by his bedside when he left his earthly body. Bruce was born to Joseph Louis and Herminia Barbara (Viegas) Morock on October 24, 1954 at Otis Air Force Base in Bourne. During Joseph’s career in the Air Force,the family moved often. Bruce attended kindergarten and first grade in Germany. After Joseph’s retirement, the family settled in Wakefield, Massachusetts. Bruce attended Wakefield High School and graduated in 1972.

Bruce met Lynda Gauron through a high school friend, declaring “this is the girl I am going to marry” and eight months later he did. They married on October 3, 1974 and would have celebrated 48 years of marriage this year.

Bruce served in the Air Force at Fairchild Air Force Base in Spokane, Washington. He and his family stayed in the Northwest after his discharge except when they were serving the Lord on the mission field. After being reconciled to God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, Bruce attended Inland Empire School of the Bible in Spokane, Washington. He graduated with a degree in Biblical Studies. In later years, he earned his Masters Degree in Education Administration at Columbia International University in Columbia, South Carolina. Bruce served as Assistant Principal at Southside Christian School, and Assistant Pastor at Southside Community Church, both in Cocolalla, Idaho. Later, he was sent out as a missionary from the church to Mexico. He and Lynda served at Campamento Peniel, Puebla Christian School, Oaxaca Christian School and Puebla BAM Center during their 23 years in Mexico. They also led youth teams to do short term mission work in Mexico, Dominican Republic and inner cities in the U.S. They also served at their home church and at their supporting churches when ever they were able. Bruce served as Director of Cocolalla Lake Bible Camp for 6 years. He served as pastor of Friant Foothill Bible Church in Friant, California for 3 years with Village Missions.

Throughout his entire life, Bruce held an unwavering faith in God and loved to share the truths of Scripture with youth and adults in Spanish and in English. He loved “seeing the light come on” when God’s Word penetrated their heart. He enjoyed playing chess, reading, traveling, hiking, camping and spending time with family. He loved music and always had a song in his heart. Many remember his enjoyment of coffee, Dr. Pepper, popcorn, spaghetti, and beans and hot dogs on Saturday night. The last three months spending time with his children and grandchildren brought great joy and comfort to him. Bruce had the God-given gift of humor that could cross language barriers and light up a room with laughter. His greatest joy was to light up a room with the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Bruce and Lynda were faithful members of Southside Community Church in Cocolalla, Idaho. Bruce is survived by his wife, Lynda; son, Daulton (Maggie) Morock of Wasilla, Alaska; daughter, Micaiah (Anthony) Hughes of Haviland; sisters, Roberta Lomer of Newton, Massachusetts and Kimberly Morock of Dillon, South Carolina; and 13 grandchildren, Brietta (Stuart) Wettstein, Chloe, Isaiah, Ayden, Elias Morock, and Adryan, Annalisa, Cooper, Jeshua, Brogan, Titus, Jonas, Tobiah Hughes and great-grandaughter, Piper Wettstein. Bruce is preceded in death by his parents, Joseph Louis and Herminia Barbara (Viegas) Morock and grandson, Gabriel Vernon Hughes.

Leon graduated from Plainville High School and received his bachelor’s degree from Fort Hays State University, in 1972.
