I am so sorry for the loss you all have suffered, Carol, I will keep your family in my prayers. I just learned of this tragedy today, or else I would have been at the services to pay my respects. Rocky was a very special cousin to me, and I will carry him close in my heart forever. He didn't care for the song much, but he never refused to let me hear "Long Tall Texan". Love & Prayers to you all!

Aunt Betty, Dale, Carol and Family we were so sorry to learn today of Rockey's passing. The last time we saw him we agreed that we needed to get together soon. I always have and always will think of Rockey when I hear "Heard It In A Love Song" - I loved to hear him sing it. We are so sorry that we were not aware of the services - we would have been there to pay our respects. Your family will be in our prayers.

I'm so sorry to hear this news. I didn't know Rocky very well, but I've known him a long time (35 years+). I was always impressed by his talent and good humor. We talked maybe 4 or 5 times total. One visit was at Tin Hall one afternoon while he was setting up and rehearsing for a gig. The last time we talked was in 1979 I believe. I think about Rocky and Dale fom time to time, always thinking I would be able to see them play again some day. And I will.

So sorry to hear of your loss, Rocky will be missed. We sure enjoyed his music days of the Tommy Daniels Band and have very fond memories.

December 19, 2011

To the family and friends of Mr. Phillips. One of the greatest causes of grief is the loss of a loved one in death, especially a beloved marriage mate. In times like these you need the comfort that soothes your heart, mind, emotions, and both your physical and spiritual health. Only God can give you the comfort beyond what is normal so you can cope with your great loss.

RIP Rock...

Mr and Mrs. Bolian,Dale and Sue, Carol and family, I'm extremely saddened to hear about Rock. Growing up with Rocky, playing football with him,playing in the band with him...makes me smile as I write this. Rocky was easily one of my favorite people ever. He had a quality that was very unique and genuine.
I posted a question just last Thursday the 15th on the Crooked Creek Facebook page asking where Rocky was today. I don't like or understand the answer, but I know he is at peace now.
