Jock was born March 1, 1952, in Reno, Nev. to Arley and Mary McCrary. He moved with his family to Tehachapi at an early age, attending local schools and graduating from Tehachapi High School. He was employed as a carpenter in construction for 20 years. He also worked as the cook at what used to be the Golden Hills Country Club. Before his illness, Jock loved to go fishing and camping at Crowley Lake with friends and family. As a young man, he loved to waterski and ride his three-wheel bicycle and unicycle. His greatest joy was being able to spend time with his nieces and nephews on outings to the park and to buy ice cream. Jock is survived by his sisters, Tina McCrary Berry and Bonnie Collins and husband Dennis, all of Tehachapi; nieces and nephews, Travis Berry and wife Karah, Trevor Berry, Doyle Collins, Jodee Burgeis, and Darren Collins; great-nieces, Colby Berry, Madison Burgeis and Kristen Burgeis, and numerous aunts and uncles. Dr. Marvin Slifer will officiate at the service. Wood Family Funeral Service handled the cremation arrangements.
