IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Rocky Choate,
Iii
February 28, 1970 – September 8, 2023
Roscoe Lee Choate III was born on February 28, 1970, to Roscoe Lee Choate Jr. and Sherry Choate Smith in Springfield, MO. Roscoe AKA "Rocky" Transitioned from this life on September 8, 2023, in Springfield, MO.
"Rocky" had a big heart for the people he loved and never failed to express his love. Not one time did he leave your presence without saying, "I love you." The big heart he had spread out to many people. He would give the shoes off his feet and shirt off his back to anyone he felt needed it more than he did, and he felt everyone needed it more than him. He loved his guitar and played it often. He also really liked to ride Harleys. He said, "I just want to get on my bike on the highway and keep on riding." From his big smile, to his warm hugs, Roscoe was loved and will be missed by many people.
He is preceded in death by his great grandmother, Nola Merritt; his grandparents, Roscoe Lee Choate Sr. and Velma Choate; his father, Roscoe Lee Choate Jr.; his mother, Sherry Coate Smith; his aunt, Phyllis; his cousin, Randiance Wright and her children, Rondrea, Arleone, Patience and Brya.
He is survived by his daughters, Kaitlyn Stafford and Gracie May Nall; his grandmother, Evelyn June Davis; his two sibling, brother, Elton Lee Choate and sister, Tiela Shawnta Choate; two nieces, Hailey and Tiela Amena Choate; closest cousin, Paul Choate; and a host of other family and friends.
