Rocco Donald Muscia, Jr. Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 29, 2024.
Rocco Donald Muscia, Jr., 59, passed away on Saturday, December 21st, 2024, in the greater Denver area.

He was born in Chicago, Illinois, to his parents, Joan Marie and Rocco Donald Muscia, Sr. Rocco had two daughters, Alizabeth Susan Muscia and Michelle Christine Keblusek Muscia. Most specifically, Rocco was close with his sister and best friend, Roxanne, as they enjoyed listening to music together and telling jokes, plus shared a love of classic cars. Rocco was the oldest of five children, as he had three sisters, Roxanne (Nunzio), Regina, and Renee, as well as a brother, Victor. Rocco had many relatives and friends.

Rocco was predeceased by his wife, Elizabeth Muscia, and his grandparents, Antonette and Angelo Muscia and Marybelle Starr.

Always an introvert, perfectionist, and quirky guy, he collected and proudly wore oversized Hawaiian shirts all year round. He also believed that wearing comfy shoes was the key to his happiness.

Rocco was a talented sketch artist and airbrush painter. He enjoyed relaxing, listening to jazz fusion and classic rock vinyl LPs, and collecting and fixing old cars. When Rocco was young, he played the drums in the school band. Plus, as his hobby, he laboriously attended to his carefully planned layouts and track plans for his extensive model railroad car collection. He loved building bike ramps and riding his bike everywhere with his neighborhood friends and sister, Roxanne. He always loved drinking Mountain Dew and eating favorite foods like pizza, pasta, and chocolate.

Rocco Donald Muscia, Jr., you will be greatly missed. May you rest in peace.
