Rocky G. Figurilli

Rocky Gene Figurilli was born into a large Italian family March 30, 1954 in Longmont, CO to Rocco Nick & Betty Louise (Forshey) Figurilli. He attended high school in Erie, CO and graduated in 1972. After high school, he worked at Gardner Denver and then in the oil fields for a short time. Rocky met Debbi Lynn Rundquist and they were married in 1974. To this union two children were born; Jeffrey Kyle and Julie Kay. In 1982 Rocky married Gail Ann (Wulff) Figurilli and to this union one girl was born; Margaret Louise.

Throughout the years, he was employed with Mapleton Sales hauling gas, as a long-haul truck driver with NW Transport, and hauled food for both Cub Foods and Safeway. During that time, Rocky also owned and operated the Little Touch of Italy catering business on the side, catering all different kinds of events. After retiring from driving semi, he turned his attention to his Fig’s Catering Food Truck, serving fresh Italian sandwiches and lasagna at different breweries and businesses around the Frederick and Longmont areas. Rocky fully retired from everything in 2020.

His true passion in life was fishing, especially around the old family cabin in Gould, CO with his mom & dad, wife, brother, children, niece, nephews, and too many family friends to count. Many laughs and comedy of errors were had by all on every fishing trip... and yes, it’s true, the fish always got bigger in size the more the stories were told. Rocky also enjoyed goose hunting in his early days and pheasant hunting “with the boys” in Sharon Springs, KS. in his later days - hunting with co-workers, cousins, nephews, his youngest daughter, and close family friends. And, he really enjoyed the days he was able to play Cribbage with his hometown pals in his later years.

It’s no secret Rocky had a big heart and loved to help and provide for others; handing out King Size candy bars for all the kids at Halloween, being the first to volunteer to cook food for a large gathering, annually making homemade wine so he could take it to every family party, making prosciutto for the old family Christmases, volunteering to drive his Auntie Jane and Uncle Fervio “up the mountain” to gamble and eat the King Crab leg buffet – he was willing to go anywhere and do anything for anyone he knew so they would feel at home. He considered everyone to be family.

He was preceded in death by his parents Rocco & Betty, his sister Nancy Dufour and her husband Stanley Dufour, his brother Richard Figurilli, along with numerous aunts & uncles on both sides of the family.

He is survived by his wife Gail of Frederick, CO, son Jeffrey (Cathryn) Figurilli of Granbury, Tx, daughters Julie (Figurilli) Salazar of Seattle, WA, and Margaret Figurilli of Sharon Springs, KS; one grandson, nieces & nephews, and many cousins far and wide.

A funeral service will be held at Ahlberg Funeral Chapel on December 29th, 2025 at 10:00am. A graveside service for Rocky’s Internment will be held in Weskan, KS. at a later date.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your favorite charity in Rocky’s name.
