Rocky Wade

Just learned of Rocky's passing as I prepare to use some of his inventive material for an upcoming presentation on HUD CPD programs. Rocky was a joy to work with and a joy to learn from. His family and friends may take comfort in knowing that his legacy endures.

I´m sorry to read of Rocky´s passing. I was a freshman at Mercer when Rocky was a senior. He kept me informed and showed me the ropes. It was always a treat to be in his company.

-missing The Rockster. Love to his family

I met Rocky many years ago when he was with TDA, Inc., one of numerous consulting contractors while working at HUD’s LA CPD Office. Rocky was one that knew everything there was to know. We kept in touch for many years after my retirement, always sharing information, good or bad, etc. We talked about everything. He was always working on something trying to help those in need in the world of Community Planning and Development assisting those communities that were looking for ways to comply...

In loving memory of a wonderful person. I will love you and miss you always. Every time I think of VISTA, you are right there in the midst. Rocky was a devoted father and Emily and Philip are his most precious loves...he was a proud father!!! It gives me great joy to pay forward the friendship that he deposited into my life.

I can hardly put my sadness into these words. Rocky's daughter just let me know about his passing today. I met Rocky through mutual HUD friends. He and I used to talk and carry on about everything.

He was so proud of his children and the work he had done over the years and his character was so pleasing. Rocky was one of a kind on this earth.

If anyone deserves the best in a beautiful Afterlife it's Rocky - a best friend to anyone he'd ever met :)

On behalf of the Presidential Management Alumni Association, thank you for Rocky's service to others and our sincere condolences to your family. PMAA

I went to high school with Rocky. We hung around together and were in the same classes. Used to visit Whitefront market and knew his mom well. Went to many outings at Camp Waco. I have very fond memories of Rocky. I saw Rocky at high school reunions but our group really connected again at our 30 year reunion. After that there were many get togethers at the Varsity. I am so very sad we lost Rocky and offer his family my prayers and sympathy. I will miss Rocky. He was a true light.
