Obituary
Stephen Ray Block, 52, of Lincoln,
passed away Saturday, June 17, 2023, at his home
surrounded by family.
Steve was born October 11, 1970, in Normal, the son
of Roland and Alice (Barbott) Block. He married Tara
Kelly on August 25, 1995, in Bloomington. She
survives.
Steve is also survived by his children, Gavin (Tayler
Rose) Block, and Lauren Block; mother, Alice Block;
and his siblings, Tim (Meryl) Block, Pam (Dan)
Brown, and Todd (Amy) Block.
He was preceded in death by his father.
Steve had a passion for sports,
especially umpiring baseball at all levels with a
specific interest in collegiate baseball. Steve
loved spending time with his family and friends. His
favorite memories were watching his kids play sports
and making friendships with many people along the
way. Steve found comfort being outdoors, going for
jeep rides, boating on the lake with his family, and
“playing golf” with his friends at the Nineteenth
Hole. |
