Uncle Rocky,
I’ve known you my entire life.
I can remember anxiously awaiting for you to visit and crying when you left.
I’ve laughed hysterically with you about things that would be far from funny to anyone else.
I understood things about you. You understood things about me.
Dang it, I hate that you had to go.
I’ll miss you always.
Love,
Heather

Uncle Rocky, I’m so thankful to have been apart of your life. Thank you for the laughs, the music talks, and ancient alien talks. You had such an open mind and wild imagination. A true kid a heart. I will always remember you and someday tell my children about you.
I know your vices my have been too much of a hobby and ultimately resulted to this sad day, but I believe you had the best life you could have given yourself. It’s what you chose to do with your life and if that made you happy the so it be. You lived life to the fullest and that’s okay. We will always love and miss ya Uncle Rock. Fly high old man.

First & foremost, I want to say to Rocky’s family, I am sorry for your pain. I pray God will bring peace in this time.
When I think of Rockhead (as I called him) I remember him as a teenager, a young adult & as life went on, as a older man. Rocky has been a part of my life in some way for as long as I can remember.
Rocky never tried to hide who he was. If he loved you, he would give you his last dime. He was a jokester never really serious. He loved to laugh.
There are three things that will forever have Rocky Miller’s stamp on them.
#1. If you ask him what he was doing, he always said, ” mildewing turning all kinda green.”
#2. The Allman Brothers “I’m No Angel.”
#3. The Eagles ” Take it Easy”
This is who Rocky was. His life was a muli-facted color life.
Rockhead you will be missed.
Sandi Sands says
Rocky,
You were the silliest, funniest person I knew. Your absence has created a huge hole in my life and heart. I never expected to “feel” your absence.
You drove us all crazy with your life choices but it was your choices and your life.
2 Corinthians 5:8
“We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.”
You are finally home and have peace.
I hope you have finally found that Open E that you were always looking for.
Philippians 3:20-21
Be looking for me because one day we will all be together in Christ.
