What can I say about our dear friend, Rocky Biggs…there are so many memories! Rocky definitely loved his family, his friends and riding. I have been on many rides with Rocky and his beautiful wife, Kelly. When we would stop, he was always ready with a witty response in conversations and then was always the first to say, ‘let’s go, I’m ready to ride!’ Rocky was a friend to all…ready with compliments, always wanting to see a smile! Rocky,knowing I’m not a great chess player, wouldn’t show me any slack but he finally taught me how to NOT be beat in 3 moves! 🙂 I don’t believe he had a mean bone in his body…Rocky Biggs, you will be sadly missed forever!! Kelly, my heart is with YOU and your children. I am privileged to have been a part of you and Rocky. Please know that I am here for you always! Again, Rocky, my friend…I will hold on to wonderful memories of you and will miss you!!! And you will be happy to know that the turtle is happy in his new home….the pond! Much Love Forever Rocky Biggs…
My favorite memory’s of Rocky is when we were growing up. We are cousins but we pretty much grew up as brother and sister. I have nothing but fond memories of him. We would go to the ponds behind Victoria Drive and fish with hes dog ‘Useless’ We had so much fun together as kids. He loved to tease but he always had my back when I had my usual teenage problems. He watched over me even though he was younger and I should have been the one watching over him. I will miss him very much and am hoping the best for his wife and kids. Love you Rocky. Jennie
Welcome home Rock love ya brother.
RIP Rocky, you will forever be missed..My deepest thoughts and prayers go out to his family and (other) friends. Rocky was a one of a kind man, a just all around great guy. On the ams that i worked he wld always greet me with that Rocky smile and a good morning as I got him his cup of milk. It will never be the same wo him. I am glad I was blessed to know Rocky, gone but never forgotten…
he had no other friend
You will be sorely missed my friend….I love you
