Rocky Smith Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Rocky was born September 16, 1957 in Tulsa, Oklahoma to Paul and Fern (Shott) Smith. He was raised and attended school in East Tulsa but spent many summers with family in Havana, Arkansas.
On June 20, 1975 he married Jeannie Marlene Johnson. They raised two sons Oliver and Levi.
Rocky worked 45 years with Nelson Electric (Rexel) and retired at age 65.
As a young boy he loved the outdoors and bird hunting. He loved and played baseball and softball during his school years. Throughout his life he was an avid Arkansas Razorbacks fan and excellent fisherman!
Rocky was a great golfer and his artificial left leg didn't bother him because he even made a hole in 1!
Rocky was known for his friendly nature, his generous kind and big heart, and his loving spirit.
Rocky was preceded in death by his father Paul. He is survived by his mother Fern, his wife Jeannie, his son Oliver and husband Mike, his son Levi and wife Desi, his brother Mike, his sister Patti and husband Robert, and his granddaughter Hannah.

Dear Jeannie, Oliver and Levi, I had the pleasure of working with Rocky closely for many years. His attitude and desire to help others was truly inspiring. He affected people he worked with and spoke with on the phone. His good ol' boy attitude was contagious and heart felt. If he ever had a bad day, I never saw it. No matter what, he was always fine. He always spoke kindly of you Jeannie and the boys. I listened to the family updates and thought how fortunate you all were to have this man in your lives. I will remember him as a positive influence in my life and hope to honor him by being more like him towards others. I wish you all peace of mind and comfort of heart. I hope your souls are happy, that heaven was made for people like him. Someday I hope to see him again because he was my friend and my Pal.
May purpetual sunlight shine on his face as he basks in the presence of our lord in heaven. Amen.
