Marylisa,
Rock always spread joy and put everyone at ease. I felt blessed to listen to him DJ just down the block, sending his good vibes. My favorite memory is watching Victoria hear her papa on the radio, and then seeing her run into his wide-open arms. Your daughter's beauty and spirit are two of the many ways Rock's love will be with us always.
Love,
Owen's Mama

Rock Dee's passing is huge loss. Besides him leaving behind his legacy of music, he leaves behind a large and beautiful family. May he rest in peace, and watch over and guide his offspring from a place in all eternity. May his family rest in knowing that they are loved and safe.

I will miss you much, Rock! I wish I had gotten the chance to know you better than I did. But, from what I did know and the times we talked, I knew you were a great person. And, your sets were always awesome! To those you touched, you will be remembered. Rest in peace, bro!

Rock;
I'll miss seeing you bounce up the stairs to the stage with that big grin. Miss your "hey, what's up?" You came a long way. Sleep in peace, my brother.

I never got the chance to know you better, but the times that we did talk were some of the best. From the tips you gave me on gear and audio at GC, to the advice you gave me on running/starting my own crew was taken to heart. Thank you for all the help and inspiration. You are truly a legend, if someone didn't know you, they at least knew of you. Milwaukee, if not the world, will never be the same.

Anytime I could stand in the light Rock threw out was a good time for me. He had the gift of making people feel truly special. He was one in a billion and I will miss him greatly.

Rock Dee,
I can not believe you're gone, and will be missed by many. I have known you since I was a youngster and looked up to you as I was growing up.
Milwaukee has truly lost a great soldier and the baddest D.J. that has ever touched the turntables.
My condolences to your wife and family.

Rod,
You left us too soon. I listened to you as a weary 40 year old Marine, driving my truck around Milwaukee in the mornings. You were always a honest, sweet, soul to listen to.
Semper Fidelis, (Always Faithful) my Brother in Arms.
I will see you in the afterlife when my ticket gets punched.
OOH RAH! TEUFEL HUNDEN!
You're already missed tremendously.

To Marylisa and Family: DJ Rock Dee will be terribly missed by all who knew him. He left such a special impact on people lives. My wife and I are deeply saddened over Rock Dee's leaving us so soon. I will never forget his special way of entertaining the world thru his gift of playing all kinds of music. He would always play this favorite song by Roy Ayers when he would see me. Thank you Rock. Milwaukee has lost another music pioneer. Sleep on my brother. Until we meet again.
With Sincere Sympathy,
