Publish in a newspaper
Born on October 19, 1950, in Marked Tree, Arkansas, he was the son of Charles and Ila Wolf Rocole. On July 3, 1971, he married the love of his life, Margaret Spencer, in Deer, Arkansas. Together they built a strong and faithful family, guided by their love for God.
Chris worked as an inspector with the Department of Agriculture, where he received numerous accolades from the USDA. Beyond his professional life, he devoted himself to ministry, missions, and service. A faithful member of Dover First Baptist Church, he served as Children's Church Pastor, taught Hunter's Education, and gave generously of his time at the church's food pantry. His life reflected his deep faith and commitment to helping others.
He found joy in gardening, hunting, and capturing the beauty of God's creation through photography. Above all, Chris was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend whose kindness and faith touched countless lives.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his son, Christopher Adam Rocole; and his brother, Stanley Rocole.
He is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Margaret Rocole of Dover; daughter, Khristal Folmar and husband Keith; son, Joshua Aaron Rocole; grandson, Steven Nathaniel Harris; brothers, Charlie Rocole, Henry Rocole, and Skeeter Rocole; sisters, Ruthie Rocole and Jenny Stewart; along with a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and many dear friends.
A funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Tuesday, September 23, 2025, at Dover First Baptist Church, with Rev. Jeff Paxton and Rev. Terry Anthony officiating. Burial will follow at Deer Cemetery in Deer, Arkansas, under the direction of Humphrey Funeral Service. Visitation will be from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Monday at the funeral home.
Memorials may be made to the Food Pantry at Dover First Baptist Church. An online obituary and guestbook are available at www.humphreyfuneral.com.
