Rocky lived a full life and was loved by all. He loved the outdoors and had a life full of adventures and accomplishments. In his younger years, Rocky did rodeo, worked on farms and played an extra in old western movies. Later he became a truck driver, both over the road and then to move and set up mobile homes, he also did landscaping and maintenance, and assisted in the care and operations of an elderly and disabled care facility with his wife Patricia. He was truly a “Jack of All Trades” who taught his family many things that will benefit them throughout their lives.

Rocky loved camping, hunting, horses, dogs and the Arizona heat. He would spend his days outdoors no matter how hot it was. He moved to Utah to be with family residing there, but never adjusted to the cold. However, he learned to deal with it so he could stay, because he loved us.

Rocky will be sincerely missed by those who knew him, those who loved him and those who must now learn to live without him.
