Jim L. Hallock

Jim Hallock, 46, of Ruth passed away on May 19, 2025 after a short battle with cancer. He was born September 11, 1978 in Pigeon to Sue Gottschalk. Jim and Amanda (Grekowicz) were united in marriage on April 18, 2015 in Harbor Beach, and in their 10 years of marriage had two beautiful children, Peyton and Cooper. Jim found his dream job driving truck with Gemini Group Transport, and while it only lasted nine months, he made a significant impact on the people he worked with. Jim was an all-time sports fan, but held a special place in his heart for the Denver Broncos, Florida Gators, and Detroit Tigers. This included collecting memorabilia from those teams as well as other players. He was always up for a road trip as long as he could tour an NFL stadium. During their many trips, he and Amanda toured five stadiums. Jim loved to spend time with his family, especially reading “Brown Bear” with Cooper or watching “The Game Plan” movie with Peyton. His favorite time of the year was Christmas, and if he had it his way, would have the tree and his Christmas village up year-round. He loved this time the most to spend with his family. He is survived by his wife Amanda Hallock of Ruth, their children: Peyton and Cooper Hallock of Ruth, his sister, Kim Frost and special friend Tom Williams, his parents: Sam and Sue (Schaaf) Gottschalk, father-in-law: Chris Grekowicz of Harbor Beach, brothers and sisters-in-law: Jesse (Meghan) Grekowicz of Freeland, Heidi (Josh) Robinson of Saginaw, Scott (Kayla) Grekowicz of Port Austin, his favorite nieces and nephews: Cali, Rex, Emma, Mae, Nate, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his grandparents: Bud and Virginia Schaaf, mother-in-law Michele Grekowicz, and uncle Bob Schaaf.
