Obituary for Rockie Young

Condolence From: Cannon Silver, Columbus, OH
Condolence: Carol, our thoughts are with you during the weeks following your husband's passing as you adjust to daily life without your dear companion near your side. May you find renewed strength as you interact with your friends and treasured children and grandchildren. Families are so precious.

Condolence: Very sorry to hear of Rockie's passing. We worked together at Nationwide and golfed together often. It was amazing how he could swing a golf club while smoking a cigar without hurting himself, and still play very well.

He was a great guy and an important part of our Nationwide family. My best wishes to his family.

Condolence From: Eric Shurtleff, Lynn Haven, Florida
Condolence: Carol and Family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, family and the many countless people Rockie had known over the years. I had the distinct pleasure of working directly with him for 7 plus years and keeping up from time to time afterwards. His humor was truly one of a kind and having to see it first hand brought a lot of laughs. He'd also given sound advice both professionally and most important personally. Truly appreciated Rockie's candor and most of all the love of his family.

He is truly missed.

Sincerely
The Shurtleff Family.

Condolence: My most sincere condolences to Rocky's family. Rock and I worked together at Nationwide; we golfed together at Calloway Gardens , Georgia, and he introduced me to Maker's Mark bourbon...which is still my favorite today :0)

Rock will be missed. He was truly one of the "good guys."

Condolence From: Jim "Hap" Koogler, Grove City, Ohio
Condolence: My sincere condolences to the Young family... and to Rockie's Nationwide family. Rock and I worked together off and on for more than 36 years. Many have come and many have gone... some I remember and some I don't. But I will NEVER forget Rockie. His dry sense of humor and impish smile made it nearly impossible to know if he was serious or joking. Always kept me on my toes. Rest in peace, Rock. I'm so sorry to lose you.

Condolence: Carol, I was so sorry to hear of Rocky's passing. I so enjoyed his humor and the time that we spent together so many years ago. At our luncheons we always had a Rocky story to tell.
