The Rising City community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Brock Chase, who tragically passed away on October 3, 2025, following a head-on collision with a semi near Rising City. He was traveling to Omaha for a VA appointment at the time of the accident. The devastating news came to his family at 2:21 PM through a Life360 alert, a moment that forever changed their lives.
Brock was more than a beloved son, brother, father, and uncle—he was a best friend, a confidant, and a source of laughter and comfort to those who knew him. For his siblings, he was a constant presence since day one, the one to call in moments of hardship, for advice, or to share a joke that only he would truly understand. For his nieces and nephews, he was “Uncle Bubby,” known for his warm hugs, playful tickles, and the kind of love that leaves lasting memories.
His loss has left his family shattered, but their faith gives them comfort in knowing Brock is now in the arms of Jesus. The family asks for prayers not only for his children, who were his greatest joy, but also for his extended family as they navigate this unimaginable grief.
Funeral arrangements are currently being planned and will be announced in the coming days. The family is deeply moved by the outpouring of love and support from friends and the community, and they ask for grace as they process their grief and respond when they are able.
Brock Chase will be remembered as a man of heart, humor, and devotion, whose presence enriched the lives of everyone who loved him. His spirit will live on in the stories, laughter, and love he shared
