Monroeville

Chris Viock Sr., 60, of Monroeville, passed away unexpectedly Wednesday, Dec. 27, 2023.

He was born Oct. 6, 1963, in Norwalk, to Robert and Esther (Brown) Viock. Chris attended Willard High School and served in the Army Reserve.

Chris was the backbone of R&L Transportation for over 39 years. He worked all the way up the ladder to become their Regional Manager. His family says that he bled green for R&L and loved his job there very much.

Chris was first and foremost a family man. He loved spending time with his family and sharing laughs, even to the point where he laughed so hard that he could break a table. Chris was a generous man and an animal lover, especially his dogs, Rowan and Max. He enjoyed driving and working on anything that had an engine.

Chris is survived by his wife of 17 years, Stephanie Viock; children, Chris Viock Jr., Dalton Vick, Blake Vick, and Telor Ringer; siblings, Carol Hoffman, Marcella Gortner, Bill Viock, Edna Villareal, Grace Reed, and Kevin Viock; 11 grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert Viock and Esther (Brown) Viock; and siblings, Harold Conrad, Pete Viock, and Lyle Viock.

Visitation will be 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 30, 2023, until the time of Chris' funeral at 6 p.m. at Walker-Eastman-Heydinger Funeral Home, 98 West Main St. A celebration of life is also being planned for a later date.
