Brian Lee Woodcock, age 53, of Bee Spring, KY, peacefully departed this life on Monday, May 18, 2026, at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, surrounded by the love of his family. Born in Edmonson County on August 18, 1972, he was the son of Dallas Woodcock and Rhonda Webb Brown. Brian shared nineteen wonderful years of marriage with the love of his life, best friend, and soulmate, Dana Anderson Woodcock, who survives. Together, they built a life centered around love, laughter, family, and unwavering devotion to one another.
Brian was a hardworking man who dedicated many years to Scotty’s Speed & Custom and Bada Corporation in Bowling Green, and most recently worked at T. Marzetti’s in Horse Cave. More than anything, he was known for the kind of person he was — humble, genuine, and quietly selfless. Saved at an early age at Pleasant Union United Baptist Church, Brian recently attended Oakland Baptist Church and Living Hope Baptist Church alongside his wife, children and grandchildren. Though shy by nature and content to stay out of the spotlight, those who knew Brian best knew the depth of his heart. He possessed a gentle spirit, a heart of gold, and a sense of humor that could light up even the hardest days.
Brian found joy in life’s simple pleasures and loved anything outdoors. Hunting, fishing, and classic cars were among his greatest passions, especially his treasured 1955 Chevy BelAir, jokingly referred to as his “mistress”. Many cherished memories were made in the garage beside his dad, tinkering for hours on their beloved cars or making trips together to the Tri-Five Nationals in Bowling Green. He also loved movies, classic rock, and country music — especially Hank Williams Jr. — and had a deep fascination with historical figures such as Billy the Kid and Sheriff Buford Pusser, attending numerous Sheriff Buford Pusser Festivals in Tennessee over the years. Yet, above all his hobbies and interests, Brian’s greatest pride and deepest love was his family. He loved fiercely and loyally, always putting those he cared about before himself. Whether as a husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, or friend, Brian’s quiet strength and unconditional love left a lasting mark on everyone blessed to know him.
He leaves to honor and cherish his memory — his beloved wife, Dana Anderson Woodcock of Bee Spring; his children, Katliyn Nolte (Lee) of Smiths Grove, Colby Woodcock (Destiny) of Bee Spring, and Laney Belle Woodcock of Bee Spring; his treasured grandchildren, Dallas Lee and Isla Jane Woodcock, and Isabella and Alexandria Nolte; his parents, Dallas Woodcock (Diane) of Bee Spring and Rhonda Webb Brown (Kenny) of Clarksville, IN; siblings, Melissa Hennion (Kenny) of Cedar Springs and Scott Woodcock (Taylor) of Columbia, TN; aunts, Kathy Rich (Terry), Judy Webb and Marcie Olson (Junior); father-in-law, Allen Anderson; along with nieces, nephews, cousins, and countless friends who loved him dearly.
He was preceded in death by his sister, Erica Brooke Clark; grandparents who simply adored him, James Clifford Webb, Anna Louise Minton, Arthur and Stella Woodcock; uncle and aunts, Clifford “Hoss” Webb, Doris Gott and Trish Webb-Hilpp; and mother-in-law, Shelia Anderson.
The interment will be in Vincent Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to Vincent Cemetery Fund.
Funeral service will be 2 p.m. Friday, May 22, at Patton Funeral Home Brownsville Chapel. Visitation is 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. Thursday, and 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. Friday at the funeral home.
