IOWA FALLS—Rocky Woods, 54, of Iowa Falls, passed away on
Monday, February 22, 2010, at his home.
Memorial services were
held on Friday, February 26, at the First United Methodist
Church, Iowa Falls. The Linn’s Funeral Home Iowa Falls
Chapel was in charge of the arrangements. Memorials may be
left to the discretion of the family.
Rocky was born on August
11, 1955 in Iowa Falls, the son of Lawrence "Woody" and Ilo
"Ike" Woods. His childhood was spent in Iowa and Montana and
provided him with many fond memories, developing his love
for nature. He celebrated his graduation from the Iowa Falls
High School in 1973 with a memorable road trip with friends,
taking in the beauty of Colorado and the California Redwood
Forest. In 1979, he married Camille Gray and soon after
their daughter, Megan Marie, was born. A son, Joshua Cole,
followed in 1981.
Rocky was passionate about
“the small things” and never failed to appreciate the beauty
of nature. He often “wore his heart on his sleeve” and was
well-known in his community for his kind and selfless
nature. He loved American history, music, long walks with
his dog and most of all, his children. A day never passed
without Rocky telling his children how much he loved them;
they will miss him terribly. He was also an avid collector
of model cars and has left an impressive collection in his
memory.
Rocky was preceded in
death by his mother, Ilo; and his very special friend, Beth
Bolton.
He is survived by his two
children, Megan Marie (Dan) Kelly of Lewisville, Texas and
Joshua Cole Woods of Chandler, Arizona; granddaughter, Mary
Katherine Kelly of Lewisville, Texas; his father, Lawrence
Woods of Iowa Falls; sisters, Darcie Mead of Ankeny and
Penny Woods of Des Moines; brother, Rick (Judy) Woods of
