We were not aware of Rocky's passing until January 17th. I lost my father this past March and Rocky was so wonderful to talk to. Rocky gave us a start with our tent business and was such an amazing thoughtful person. I visited Rocky just to come talk and he really made me feel good. We Love and Miss you.

Dear Frank, Jean and Rhonda, I am so sorry for the loss of Rocky. He never seemed to be annoyed with me as the little sister that didn't want to be left out, but maybe that's because he was used to his own sister. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I can't come to the services because I have to work, but I will be there in spirit. God Bless You all. Katy Hegwer Meador

I will always remember Rocky's handsome looks and quiet mannerisms.To me he was a gentle giant of a man...I have fond memories of him from the Easter picnics, gatherings at Ovella's and camping reunions at the river. I remember listening to ghost stories while camping out and Rocky and the other boy cousins sneaking up and scaring us girls. We did have fun times. He will be missed. My prayers and thought are with you Frank, Jean and Rhonda.
