I never met Rocco, but was a college friend of Maria's. Maria I am so sorry for your loss. From reading almost all of the submissions Rocco was definitely one of a kind. He was a friend to everyone, loving father, and would always light up the room when he entered. The world loss an angel today. Again, I am so sorry for your loss Maria.

So sad for Rocky's family, this young man was a relentless storm of good energy and laughter. Loved by all.
May God watch over Maria and Matt and Richie and Lauren and Rocco's children as they navigate this difficult time, and may Rocky look down from Heaven and realize how much he was loved and how he'll be missed.
