Roc, what a fitting service for the old soul you are. School was not made for you and getting you to do school work wasn’t always easy, but with a bit of give and take and country music in your ears you eventually got the job done! ❤️ Mrs Chynoweth

Rest in Peace Roc. You were such a beautiful young man, it's such a shame for you to be taken so early when you had such a full life ahead of you. I'll always remember our little chats and how you'd always say um and we would laugh. condolences Kellie and Lucas
