Condolence From: Susan and Lewis Jones
Condolence: Thank you for touching so many lives even though I'm not sure you realize just how many you did! Thank you for the pictures for McKenna and for being so kind! I know you are sitting by God's side now, painting pictures of angels with a beautiful smile on your face! I hope you now can see just how much you were liked, prayed for, and loved by our community! You had your own things to deal with, in your own way, but I'm praying you finally have your peace you sought, and realize you never have to deal with them again! Thank you for being a good man Rocky! You will be greatly missed!

Condolence: Franklin has lost a great presence and a great talent. Thank you Rocky for the unique contribution you made to all of our lives. You made Franklin more interesting and I will miss you greatly. One of my favorite paintings I have of Rocky's is one of a mountain landscape with a lake in front. It has a beautiful sunset and unusual colors. When you look closely though, sharks are swimming in the lake!

Condolence: RIP, Rocky, the Michael Angelo of Macon County, the Van Gogh of the Appalachians. You represented something very important to so many of us, as an artist and with your generosity, despite all the demons you had to wrestle. You made this place better by being here, Rocky. I hope I can learn from you, to make more art and to be more generous, like you. I hope you're flying with silver hummingbirds with plenty of good pens and paints. Deepest condolences to family and loved ones.

Condolence: Rocky, you are missed by so many. I am still trying to find the words to explain to my son that you are gone. He looked up to you. I remember taking him to meet you for the first time on Easter when he and I took you Coffee and Breakfast. Now every time we pass the bridge, he always wants to go check on you. And he is 7. We will all display your art proudly. Rest in peace good buddy.
