The man, the myth, the legend. Some of us called him Rich, some of us called him Rokk. He was a father, a grandfather, a son, a husband, a friend, a mentor, and an all-around good person.

If you worked with him, you knew Rokk as the hardest worker in the room. He was always about teamwork. Getting the job done no matter what it takes. Taking pride in everything he did, and everyone could see that he truly cared.

My name is Zack, I am Rokk’s son through marriage, but he has been a father to me since I was three and loved me as his own.

Rokk also has his two daughters, Violet, and Roxie. These girls were his world. He’d do anything for them and showed that countless times. Though if you were Rokk’s friend at the least, you know he’d do anything for any of us.

I’ve seen many people speak on his behalf, reflecting on memories together. One thing remains consistent in everyone’s encounter with our father and that’s that he was and still is, “LARGER THAN LIFE.”

Rokk was a dedicated, loyal employee with Diamond A Equipment for many years. He will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him.

Rokk was the sole provider for the family and now his wife, mother-in-law, and youngest daughter need our help. His passing was unexpected and sudden. My mother would love to be able to stay in her home and keep the memories of Rokk’s presence intact. They need our help with a memorial service to honor Rokk the way he deserved. Let’s try to come together and make this happen for his family.

Thank you and we love you all.
