June 28, 1961 – October 8, 2020
Ezio (Rocky) Ognissanti, age 59, of Omaha passed away Thursday, Oct. 8, 2020.

This is where he met his wife, Kimberly. He is a Gulf War veteran, and retired after 16 years. This brought him and his family back to Omaha.
Rocky worked for the United States Postal Service, where he worked for 22 years. He loved to joke around with everyone and would do whatever he could to make people feel at home.
Survived by his wife, Kimberly; children, Anthony (Lisa) Ognissanti, Monica Wilcox; grandchildren, Summer Ognissanti and Malia Wilcox; mother, Guiseppina Conigliano; sister, Cinzia Ognissanti; as well many other family and friends.

Rocky has been our mail carrier for a number of years. We always enjoyed sharing conversation with him or offering a cold bottle of water on a hot day. We share with all of his friends and family in his loss of life. May your memories of him provide with solace during this very sad time.
