the world lost a wonderful soul

This online memorial was created in loving memory of Rocky Viracola, whose life story is told throughout this memorial website. Please sign Rocky's guest book and let us know you came to visit. We will remember Rocky forever. 

 First I want to say thank you to everyone who is visiting this memorial and reading about my husband Rocky. I have tried very hard to think of how to describe Rocky. The only word that ever comes to mind is unique. He was like no one you had ever met. He didn't know a stranger. He was out going passinate. Rocky had a bubbly personality and when he walked into a room you couldn't help but notice him. He got compliments all the time that he looked like Bruce Willis and he would say ya now if I only had his bank account. He usually had something smart to come back with. He had a wonderful personality. He was truly an amazing person. He was unbeliably smart and was very determented. He wouldn't let any thing get the best of him. To all who knew him he will forever be missed. To all who missed out on knowing him please read through this as this is only a small part of his life.

Rocky and his wifey poo

Rocky and I were married on May 25th, 2005. I will never forget the wonderful times that we had together. He taught me so much about life, love and everything in between.  I know that he is at peace now and he is with his father god who will love him no matter. there were so many things i loved about him. he walked in everynight after work and made sure to give me a kiss and a hug i can remeber him walking through the front door and hearing all the kids yell "daddy!!!" and it would put a smile on his face no matter how bad of a day he had. i loved him so much my life will never be complete without him. i cherish all the good times we had and honey i know one day i will see you again up in heaven.

He had a charm like no other. The world is a little darker now with out you here.

what a smile

anybody who knew rocky knew how much he loved his cars he was the best mechanic most had ever seen. he could listen to your car and tell you what was wrong with it. he was so smart and i can't believe this world has lost such a wonderful soul. he could work on a corvette with his eyes closed. he amazed everyone he came into contract with he was the most brillent person most people had ever met.  i hope you have your viper in heaven my love

rocky was a devoted christian he loved god more than anything. he would spend a lot of his time reading the bible and trying to figure it all out. he could quote many different verses from the bible. when he would talk to people about god he was so passinate. he put god above all else and tried to live a godly life. now he is in heaven with his father god and he is resting in his arms.

 

 

 

If tears could build a stairway
and thoughts a memory lane
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again
No Farewell words were spoken
No time to say good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why.

My heart's still active in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now I know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.

God knows why, with chilling touch,
Death gathers those we love so much,
And what now seems so strange and dim,
Will all be clear, when we meet Him.
I Knew you for a Moment
