Rockwell (Rocky) Darbee

Rockwell (Rocky) Darbee died March 8. He was 70.

Darbee was born April 9, 1946 in Clawson, Michigan. He was an avid marathon runner and mountain climber. His quirky sense of humor and bright personality will be missed by all that knew him.

Darbee was preceded in death by his parents, John and Jeannette; sister, Ann; and his beloved wife that he adored for over 30 years, Shirley Darbee.

He is survived by his daughter, Jennifer Burruss-Casado (Mariano); grandchildren he raised as his own, Preston and Darbee Sherman (Alex Newman); stepsons, Richard (Priscilla) and Doug (Della) Burruss; grandchildren, Brianna (Erica), Andrew (Amber), Dillon (Silvia), Amanda Burruss, Austin Salazar, Ashley Casado-Graham (David), Kaitlin Coughran and four great-grandchildren, and his niece, Lisa Brown Polson.

Memorial services were recently held at Graham-Hitch Mortuary in Pleasanton.
