Roger “Rocky” Ausburn, as we new him at Gordon Lee Memorial High School in Chickamauga. Georgia was a man of inspiration. I played Football with him where we went 9 and 1 our senior year.  He was very tough, helpful and a leader.  I certainly enjoyed our friendship. I regret that we hadn’t seen each other since a Class Reunion many years ago. 

I wish his family the very best and hate our loss of a very good man, Roger “Rocky” Ausburn.
 May God Bless You!

I looked thru all of the pictures and enjoyed seeing Rocky and his family !!! I knew Rocky and played ball with him at GLHS, and we were roommates at JSU...This was our dorm, we stayed in room 226...We had a lot of great memories with our friends Allen Clarkson, Danny Carlock who we went to high school and college with at JSU...we also ran with many other friends we met there like Terry (Mumford) Samuel), David Wyatt, Kirby Lee to name a few !!! I am sad to hear of his passing, but I'll always cherish the memories !!! I know Rocky has gone to be with The Lord now, and my prayers are for his family !!! God Bless You !!!  With all my love and care, Chip Slack.

My name is Ira Carlton Hopkins, also known as Ikey.  I am second cousin to Rocky.  This is a sad day for we have lost another precious family member. I can remember when we had those family gatherings at granny and granddaddy Hopkins house in Pelham, Georgia.  It was always great to see Jimmy, Barbra, Rocky and Bobby-Lyn.  Aunt Lydia V was sister to my dad Ira Lee Hopkins.   Rocky was always fun to play with growing up.  My only regret is we didn’t get to spend more time together as adults. Love you Rocky and family, bye for now until we meet again.

Dearest Darcy and family, I am so very sorry for your loss and praying that you will find peace and comfort through our almighty God during this very difficult and sad time. The pictures of the family and remembrance of him are just beautiful lovely memories that you all shared throughout his life and those will be with you forever! May he be at peace in the Kingdom of Heaven and may you find peace in that as well! My love and prayers are with you! God Bless your family! 🙏❤
Darcy, your friend & sister in this life! ❤

My Uncle Rocky was one of the most amazing men I have ever had in my life.  He was one to always show love and compassion for all of his family and friends. His memories and kindness will never be forgotten as the values he carried with him can be seen through all the lives he touched.  I know I carry wisdom from him that he gave me before I was even a teenager. I was blessed to have him in my life as I know we all were.  My condolences to my Aunt Darcy and cousins Justin, Brandon and Sara as well their families. As I know he will be greatly missed. At the same time I know that with all your faith that he is resting peacefully yet will always be here in spirit.  All my love and condolences. Sincerely his nephew Jeffery Page


I am so sad to hear of Rocky's passing, and send many prayers and loving thoughts to the family.  So many wonderful memories of our childhood growing up together, and the visits with him, Jimmy, Barbara, Bobbi Lynn and our families.  He was much too young to go. Peace and love, Cousin Gwenelle
