James Brock, owner of Brock’s Food & Drink, passed away earlier this morning, according to a Facebook post from daughter Jae Brock Crawford.
“At 3:49 a.m., Dad joined Jesus and his parents,” Crawford’s post reads. “This is hands down the hardest thing I have ever gone through! We will post details soon. Thank you to everyone who has reached out and loved on us!”
Brock was diagnosed with lung cancer last November and started treatment at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
Crawford previously told the Hood County News that her father’s cancer had later spread into his “stomach, liver, neck, and lymph nodes.”
“It kind of knocked the wind out of all of us," she had said.
