'Send me location': Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg agree to cage fight Making people laugh all over the world There were always crowds of people surrounding his dad and the ladies loved him, Rocky said. Growing up, Rocky saw his dad on weekends and they’d barbecue and hang out at Lake Cumberland to jump off cliffs and swim. Rocky said his dad, James, was a good guy he had a lot of fun with. “I just immediately said ‘screw it’ and clicked send,” he said.

He considered asking his brother or other people for input but decided against it and spoke from the heart. “For about 10 minutes, I wrote down memories of my dad and that's what became the obituary.” “Immediately after that, I was driving and I just parked in this gravel lot beside my grandmother's house,” Rocky told USA TODAY. The director gave him a short and simple piece of advice: 'Just talk about your dad.' He had never written one before and wasn’t sure where to begin, so he consulted the director of Pulaski Funeral Home, where his father’s arrangements were made. He’s not a 'heavy' person who dwells on sadness much, a trait he credits to his father. Rocky wrote his father's obituary shortly after arriving in Kentucky.
