Rockney E. (Rocky) Rhoades passed away Jan. 31, 2013. He was born July 15, 1953 in Wheeling W.Va. He was only four years old when he moved to San Bernardino, Calif. in 1957 with his mother, father and two older brothers. He attended school there and graduated from Cajon High School. He also attended Valley College for two years taking courses in Climatology.
He was a semi pro bowler most of his life and has several rings for 299 and 300 point games. Rocky was also a truck driver for Arrowhead Magazine Co. of San Bernardino. After injuring his back, he took a job as a security officer for the Santa Fe Railroad, patrolling the tracks from San Bernardino to the Cajon Summit.
He traveled all over this country and Alaska. He loved to fish and spend many summers dredging for gold in Northern California. His latest adventure took him to Oklahoma for the spring and summer seasons chasing tornados. He spent the winters in Lake Havasu City with his brothers. He was never married and had no children.
Rocky was preceded in death by his parents, Beecher J. Rhoades and Dorothy R. Rhoades; sister, Nancy Rhoades (Poulter) and brother, James Rhoades. He is survived by older brother, Beecher J. Rhoades Jr, of Camden W.Va.; Brenton Lee Rhoades of Lake Havasu City and sister, Arletta J. Watkins of St. Clairsville, Ohio. He will be greatly missed by family and numerous friends.
Services to be 1 p.m., Feb. 16, at Lakeview Community Church, 1699 W. Acoma Blvd. with a brief memorial at graveside and a reception lunch to follow at the church.
Flowers preferred to be outdoor desert plants or donations made to Lakeview Community Church in Rocky's name. Rocky was a born again Christian and believed this scripture, Psalm 116:15.
