Rockey Neal Collins, age 66, passed away on July 5, 2020 in a local hospital after his battle with lung cancer.  He was born July 16, 1953 in Ardmore, OK. to Homer Dave and Emma Lois (Denham) Collins.

Rockey enjoyed life with a wonderful sense of humor.  He was affectionately called "uncle" Rockey by so many because he became an uncle at age 3.  He was always there for anyone that needed his help. He will be missed and remembered by so many.

Rockey was a graduate of Ardmore High School. He learned the concrete business by working at a local company for many years before starting his own company, Rockey Collins Concrete Co.  He was known as a hard working and a perfectionist.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Carol (Banker); brother, Charles, Gary and Homer; and a sister, Donna (Collins) Glass.

He is survived by a brother, Grady Paul of Oklahoma City and his sister, Linda (Guy) Hoyt, Tucson AZ and many, many nieces, and nephews.
