Rock enjoyed playing video games and watching movies (horror and superhero were his favorite) with his grand babies, he was an amazing artist who could paint, draw, or sculpt just about anything, and time spent with his family. Rock did security for many years in California and Missouri, but he also worked on low budget movies doing makeup while he lived in Miami. Rock was an amazing man who touched many lives throughout his years working for the children's homes amongst other places. He could brighten your day with his dry sense of humor, his contagious smile and laugh, or the world's best hugs. Rock was unlike anyone, and he will be missed deeply by his family and many friends.

In lieu of flowers the family has an account set up at First State Community Bank for the 2 youngest grandchildren that are in his and his wife's care. Rocks main concern to the very end was making sure they were taken care of.
