Robert Dean Fiock

Robert Dean Fiock of Yreka peacefully passed away at Madrone Hospice on June 25, 2021 after a long battle with Parkinson's Disease. He was 78 years old. Bob was born on November 3, 1942 in Richmond, California to Lloyd and Evelyn Fiock. At the age of 3, his family relocated back to their hometown of Yreka. Bob grew up on the family homestead, along with his late brother Ron and graduated from Yreka High School in 1960. Many people would classify Bob as an honorable, distinguished, family-oriented man who not only served his family, but his community as well. At the age of 18, he enlisted with the United States Air Force as a Nuclear Weapons Specialist. After returning from serving his country, Bob joined his father and brother to work in construction, until he began his career with the Siskiyou County Building Department, in which he promoted up to the Chief County Building Official. Over the 27 years, Bob achieved a Presidential status with the State of California Building Inspectors and was named into the State Hall of Fame. He worked to ensure a safe environment in which people live and work. He was a technical advisor to the California Energy Commission for 12 years as well. Bob was patient and helpful and still had a strong desire to serve his community in further ways, which inspired him to take on additional hours and become an EMT, Firefighter and Reserve Police Officer for the Yreka Police Department. Bob was totally devoted to his family. He met the love of his life, Jeanie in 1982 on a blind date and married her on April Fool's Day in 1983. They blended their families, which included Bob's children Vicky and late son Mark and Jeanie's children Stacey, Donnie and late son Eddie. Over the years, Bob and Jeanie traveled to multiple countries, spent endless hours with their families, but his true enjoyment (besides Jeanie and his children) was having grandchildren, and you would often see he and Jeanie at every sporting event they could possibly attend. For those of you that knew him well, you would also recall how meticulous he was with his house and vehicles. A funny story to share was when Bob had parked his truck halfway up the driveway and Donnie was backing down the hillside behind the house and accidentally side-swiped the truck with his mirror. Just the sound alone, made Bob cringe and he threw himself across the bed and yelled, "Jeanie he hit my truck". Luckily for Donnie, the damage was only his own mirror being torn off. Over the years, Bob became so much more relaxed with his grandchildren and they could do no wrong, they could eat in the living room, the plastic got removed from the furniture and dogs were allowed in the house. All fun aside, Bob was a man full of abundant love. Even in Bob's final days, Jeanie would take him on long drives throughout the county and they would reminisce on their years together. His family was able to take him to see the Pacific Ocean one last time, per his request. Bob leaves behind his wife, Jeanie and their children and spouses, Vicky Winham (Dale), Stacey Echard (Kyle), Donnie Hogun (Veanne). They have 10 wonderful grandchildren: Katelyn, Kelsey, Harrison, Hayden, Sadie, Aubrey, Eric, Hillary, Cody and Gary. He was preceded in death by parents, Lloyd and Evelyn, his brother Ron Fiock, and sons Mark Fiock and Eddie Hogun. A graveside service will be held at 10:00 am on Tuesday, July 6, 2021 at Evergreen Cemetery. Reception to follow at Yreka RV park clubhouse, 767 Montague Road, Yreka. Donations can be made to Madrone Hospice, 255 Collier Circle, Yreka, CA 96097. The family wants to acknowledge the great care provided by Hospice and Siskiyou Springs caretakers during this difficult time.
