Curtis "Curt" Shock, a lifetime member of the North Webster community, passed away after a brief illness at Lutheran Hospital on September 29, 2024 at the age of 84. Born on February 23, 1940 to Pearl and Ruby (Lewallen) Shock in Warsaw, IN. Curtis lived a life marked by dedication to both his family and his North Webster community. He married Suzanne Buis on June 3, 1963 in Pierceton, IN.
Curt was a graduate of North Webster High School, class of 1959. He was drafted into the Army, where he served during the Korean Conflict. His commitment to service extended beyond his military service; he was also a dedicated and lifelong member of the North Webster American Legion Post 253, contributing many years as a member of the Honor Guard.
For many years, Curt worked as a truck driver. He was known for his strong work ethic and his somewhat ornery personality, which endeared him to many. Curtis had a passion for being outdoors, often seen tinkering with his lawn mowers in his spare time. He also enjoyed watching Notre Dame football and cheering for the Chicago Cubs.
In addition to his various interests, Curt was deeply involved in his local community. He loved North Webster and volunteered actively with the North Webster Food Pantry and the North Webster Library.
Curt is survived by his son, Mike Shock of North Webster, and his cherished grandchildren: Adam (Christine) Shock of Indianapolis, Danielle (Adam) Lock of Warsaw, Alex Shock of Terre Haute, and Anna Shock of North Webster. His legacy continues with his great-grandchildren: Ruby and Lillian Shock, as well as Elliott, Ezra, and Espen Lock.
He is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Suzanne "Suzy" Shock, who passed away in November 2010, along with his parents Pearl and Ruby Shock and one brother, Richard Shock.
