Not sure what to say?

A powerhouse on the basketball court and a kind, gentle soul off the court. A rare combination. Rocky, RIP.

A real friend....

Steve Rockhold was a wonderful friend and teammate for many, many years. I will forever be thankful that I was able to be a part of his life and he a part of mine. I have never met a kinder, more caring person than my friend Steve.....RIP big guy, I know you are in Heaven where you belong

Rest in Peace, Rocky!

One of the first times I played a basketball
against Steve I was fortunate enough to have knocked the ball loose from those HUGE and incredibly powerful hands. Steve retrieved the ball, put an elbow into my chest and then one handed a slam dunk that bounced off my forehead and out of bounds. He looked at me and grinned from ear to ear. I started laughing and he rubbed his hand through my hair and said "Good try Ronnie". What a smile.

Stevie. Of all men who journeyed in this life, I see you as one of the few who made a difference. The way you loved your family, the many friends who valued you and held you high in esteem...I will miss your wonderful loving eyes when they were engaging with your family. No children could love a Father more. My sorrow is for their mourning the loss of the sweetest man that walked the Earth. I feel honored to have known such a great man. Thank you for touching my life. Always missed, never...
