John C. Hiscock

John C. Hiscock passed away, Wednesday, August 19, 2026, at Stanford Lodge in Plainwell. He was born July 19, 1950, in Kalamazoo, the son of Carl and Doris (Melvin) Hiscock.

John graduated from Otsego High School in 1968 and attended Western Michigan University where he participated in ROTC program.

Throughout his career, John contributed his talents as a warehouse manager at Westinghouse Electric for many years. His dedication, work ethic, and steady presence were respected by colleagues and friends alike.

John’s greatest joy, however, was found in the simple pleasures of life and in caring for those around him. He participated in area bowling leagues with his friends, cherished the time spent fishing with his father and time spent on his grandfather’s farm. On June 14, 1970, he married the love of his life, Marilyn Drake in Kalamazoo. John’s love for family was profound; he was devoted to taking care of Marilyn, always striving to bring her happiness, willing to do anything; helping with chores, errands, or special surprises that might brighten her day.

Surviving along with Marilyn are his children, Heather (Tony Chapman) Hiscock of Kentucky and Heath (Melinda) Hiscock of Bloomingdale; granddaughters, Jeannette and Margaret; his sister, Carlene and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and brother Ed.
