I had a great time getting to know you and your family with the Juan de Fuca Royals. Rocky was always such a positive and generous role model. He will truly be missed.
Such a warm and caring person – supportive and thoughtful. My sincere condolences to the family. His involvement at our school is a testament to Rocky’s encouragement and positivity. He will be very missed.

So very sorry to hear about your loss. My morning prayers will be wishing you peace, love and memories filled with tears of laughter, rather than sadness, as you think of Rockie.

Rockie was a great, great guy and he was one of the first people I met at S.J.A. He was always kind and helpful to me. I will miss him. Every time I saw him he had a smile on his face and he was in a happy mood. ~ Alex Fraser

Rockie made such a positive impression for the kids at SJA and was always so easy going. We enjoyed our conversations with him -and his family. It was a pleasure to be around him and he will be dearly missed by all – may peace and strength be with his friends and loved ones. Rockie will be with you – in your voices, all your expressions, laughter and hugs…forever. Regards, Pam and Ian Fraser
