Karen’s Tribute to Rocky Green
Christian Brother & Guitarist In the Presence of God
I only really knew him for the few days he came to Santa Fe to play guitar on my “Singing My Heart Out” CD, but that was long enough to know that he was a great brother in the Lord. Rocky went to be with the Lord on February 25, 2009. I don’t know details, but I do know that he had one operation on a brain tumor a few months ago. His death was likely complications from that.
Rocky was an easy going, dedicated musician who “played his heart out”. I am privileged to have had him play on my CD. I’m glad that album, along with several other of his own and others will help memorialize him and the things he accomplished in his short life time in the area of music and for God.
Please pray for his wife Jena and their soon to be born baby. Here is the message that his family sent out about him. May God be close to all of them right now as they learn to live out the rest of their lives with out Rocky. Praise God that there WILL be a reuniting time in God’s presence.
