Brock Dennis Rechtzigel, 42 died unexpectedly on Sunday morning, July 19 at his home.

Brock was born on June 15, 1973 in Cannon Falls to Bette (VanGuilder) and Dennis Rechtzigel. He attended Cannon Falls Schools.

Brock spent most of his adult life living in Rochester, MN with several years spent in Phoenix, AZ.

Brock had many talents and exceled in most everything he did.  He was especially gifted as a craftsman and woodworker.  He could build anything.  Just give Brock an idea or design and he could build it.

Brock was a very sociable and likeable guy.  He had many good friends and he enjoyed spending time with them.

October 31, 1997 was one of the happiest days of Brock's life when his daughter Brittani was born.  Brock was a kind, caring and dedicated father who deeply loved his children.

The saddest day of Brock's life was the day he lost his beloved sister and best friend, Jessi Fritz on March 14, 2005.  Jessi's death was a devastating loss for Brock, from which he never truly recovered.

Brock will be remembered for being a good friend to many, a warm and caring nephew to his many aunts and uncles, a beloved grandson to his grandparents, a super fun and doting uncle to his nieces and nephews, a much loved brother to his siblings and a devoted and dedicated son to his parents.  Brock was an especially tender and caring son to his mother.

Brock is survived by his mother Bette VanGuilder Albert, his father Dennis (Patty) Rechtzigel, his  children Taylor and Brittani,  his sister Bree (Tim) Smude, his brother Ryan (Angie) Rechtzigel, his brother-in-law Brad (Jan) Fritz, his nieces and nephews, his paternal grandparents Art and Delores Rechtzigel, and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
