Kory Lee Alcock

ADRIAN- Kory Lee Alcock, age 52, of Adrian, Michigan, passed away on Sunday, March 9, 2025, at ProMedica Charles & Virginia Hickman Hospital in Adrian. Kory was born on October 25, 1972, in Adrian, the youngest of Howard and Judith (Stovall) Alcock’s three children. He attended Sand Creek Community Schools and graduated with the Class of 1992. While growing up Kory was involved with FFA and a member of the Palmyra Future Leaders 4H Club. He took pigs and cattle to the Lenawee County Fair for many years. After high school, Kory went on to trade school through Owens Community College where he became an Iron Worker with Local 55 in Toledo. Growing up on the family farm and being active in all the different seasons made a lasting impression on Kory and he continued to farm throughout his life. Known for being social and having a good sense of humor, no one was surprised when Kory decided to put these skills to use when he attended the Missouri Auctioneer School. Kory called out bids at local auctions, wedding receptions to raise money for the bride & groom’s honeymoon and at friends’ parties to keep the laughs going. On August 12, 2000, Kory married Jennifer L. Smith and for the next 24 years they worked as a team raising their two daughters, tilling the fields and being active members in their Sand Creek community. Kory was the ultimate “Girl Dad” and always had time to be a part of his daughters’ activities. He treasured his wife, Jennifer, and loved the bond they shared. Kory enjoyed riding his gator around the farm and in the woods. Over the years, Kory had 2 special labs Stitch and Zach, who showed their loyalty by following him around the farm and keeping him entertained. Landon Dickerson was Kory’s right hand man for farming and a good friend for many years. In addition to his wife, Jennifer, Kory is survived by his parents, Howard and Judith Alcock; children, A. Elijah (Kayli) Browning, Kaitlyn Alcock and Mekeal Alcock; siblings, Kevin (Keila) Alcock and Kelly (Mark) Seidl; nieces and nephews, Mekeisha (Aaron) Black, Kelby (Sarie) Alcock, Kolton (Mikayla) Alcock, LeeAnn (Adam) Forche and Alex Seidl; many great nieces and nephews; mother-in-law, Kathy Smith; brothers-in-law, Brian Smith, Josh Smith, Nathan (Marisa) Bustamante-Smith; nieces and nephews, Daimen, Korbin, Rayven, Jackson, Pryce, Bella and Faye.
