Dear Brown Family , I am so Blessed to have had Rocky as my Pastor and you as my family of God
He preached the Truth the Whole Truth and Nothing But the Truth and did it with passion and love.
times i would see tears come from his eyes his heart so burdened for the young people to take Salvation Seriously ! Jesus said Matthew 24:36
No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
He Not only preached the Soon Return of Jesus and the Rapture of the church , He Warned them of YOU DO NOT KNOW THE HOUR OF YOUR OWN DEATH
Jesus came for Rocky just like rocky Preached !
. We are not promised tomorrow . But Praise God He is with Jesus and we will see him again .. much Love and Prayers

I met Rocky when he came to visit my father Gene Pegg. Dad was fighting cancer the later part of 2012. And passed in march 2013. I remember Rocky coming to dad's house several times an talking with dad for hours. They had alot in common. They both found everything interesting. My father never really said alot about anyone, but he liked Rocky. Dad told me several times what a good guy Rocky was. Dad respected Rocky's opinions which says alot about Rocky. I know Rocky was a kind hearted intelligent man who will be missed by all who knew him.
