Sonny James Rock

The world became a little less bright on January 29th, 2025, when Sonny James Rock passed away peacefully on his 52nd birthday in Gilbert, Arizona.
Sonny was born in Missoula, Montana to Donna and Daniel Rock. In his early years he lived in Montana and California, finally landing in Riverton, Ut in 1984.
Sonny loved spending time with his only brother, Jason, and they had an incredible bond. While in Utah, Sonny had many, many friends. He was known for his witty sense of humor and crazy antics. The fact he was awarded "Most Remembered" his senior year shows what an impact he had on his peers.
He met Michelle Laub the first day of his senior year and shortly after that they became inseparable. They married young on March 28th, 1992. Their family grew shortly thereafter and subsequently they had four daughters who were his entire world.
Michelle and Sonny lived in Iowa for 4 years where Sonny made many lifelong friends that continue to this day. They settled in Mesa, Arizona in 2001 where they raised their family. Sonny loved football, the outdoors, his friends, movies, concerts and traveling.
Though Sonny will be most remembered for his love of people, especially his family. He was a friend to all and made every person he met feel like they mattered and that he genuinely cared. Sonny always saw the best in people and encouraged everyone to be the best version of themselves.
Sonny leaves behind his wife Michelle, daughters Skyelee, Quynn, Peyton and Emery. His parents Donna and Robert Rock, brother Jason (Jyl Bosone). Mother In-Law Mona Davis (Kelly), Father In-Law Kevin Laub (Marianne). Sisters- In-Law, Erica Liti (Sam), Amy Bonnemort (Dave), Whitney Turley (Trace), Brothers-In-Law Brett Laub (Lacey) and Landon Laub (Norma) as well as many nieces and nephews who he cherished. We also cannot forget about his beloved dog, Bowtie.
In honor of Sonny, we encourage all to smile at a stranger, offer encouragement to a friend or reach out to someone you haven't spoken to in awhile.
