Rockey, Sr. and Angelita Rodriquez Rockey. He retired from the Mexia State 
Supported Living Center after a number of years; he was in the wheelchair 
maintenance department.

Rockey’s love for his family was very evident in his life. After his father

his mother could depend on for help. He enjoyed fishing and helping people. He 
attended the First Baptist Church in Wortham.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his close companion, Nelda Hallmark; 
brother, Ricky; sister, Laura Ann Rockey; Clinton Hallmark, whom he loved as a 
son; and brother-in-law, Wesley Dabney.

Rockey is survived by four sisters, Mary Jane Northcutt and husband, Johnny of 
Prairie Hill, Sue Ellen Rockey of Corsicana, Rosa Dabney of Mexia and Betty 
Clakley of Kirvin; those he considered his children, Donna Duckworth and 
husband, Cloyd of Corsicana and Taloa Willis of Mexia; those he considered his 
grandchildren, Jeffery Willis, Corey Wedgman, Candice Hallmark and Clinton Alan 
Hallmark; and a number of nieces and nephews.

Pallbearers will be Jory Walpole, Cody Rockey, Samson Clakley, Michael Duke, 
Shane Northcutt, Duane Beard and Shad McCord.
