Cowboys. Rockey had a passion for life and the great outdoors. In the summer Rockey would be in the

kitchen mixing up his own hummingbird nectar and planning the next time to cut the grass. If Rockey was

not worried about his yard or the creatures in it, he would be fishing in the ocean. Rockey also had a

distinguished taste for food, he would create his own ghost pepper hot sauce, custom seasonings, and even brew his own beer.

He was preceded in death by his parents, and brothers, Danny Robinette, and John Robinette.
