Rocky’s Story

Site created on March 15, 2021

On Saturday March 13, Rocky was airlifted to Parkview North. (If you know anything about Rocky, it had to be something serious to get him into a helicopter! His first time ever in the air!). 


Doctors think he had some form of heart failure but are not sure. He is currently on a ventilator, medicine to sedate and paralyze his body, and other medication to manage various systems in his body. 


We request your prayers and encourage you to share this with anyone who knows and loves Rocky. He’s a strong guy, but is in a bad place right now. 

(FYI: there is an ad on this page that says “Help Rocky Stay Connected to his Family.” This is not a fundraiser for my dad but is an ad from the Carebridge webpage. Money goes to them. We are not seeking any financial support for my dad.)
