Rocky Lee Canfield of Blanchard, Oklahoma, passed away on Sunday, September 24, 2023, with his family by his side. Rocky grew up in the town of Ponca City with his grandparents. While helping his grandparents on their farm he learned to drive at the early age of seven. He was very mischievous and often found himself in a pickle. Throughout his childhood he attended Crooked Oak Schools and was an all-around athlete. He played football, baseball, and ran track and field, however, his favorite was baseball. He was a pitcher and played from little league all the way to high school.
Early in life, he met his wife, Sherry at the shoppette that she was a manager of, and they were wed on November 21, 1980. They lived a full life and had one son and two daughters. In the early 90s, Rocky traded an Atari arcade gaming system for an antique Farmall H and began his brush hogging business. He enjoyed being outdoors and brush hogging gave him the opportunity to relish in the peace and quiet that it had to offer. Rocky also worked 30+ years at Domino Transports hauling gas, diesel, and jet fuel. He hauled to almost every state except for Alaska and Hawaii. He received numerous awards, one being the 3 Million Mile Award. In May of 2021, Rocky and Sherry moved into their log cabin dream home in Blanchard, and they loved every minute of it.
When his wife passed in February 2022, he decided it was time to retire. This decision didn't come easy to him as he had worked his entire life starting out as a young kid and the thought of no longer having to be somewhere at a certain time was difficult for him. However, once in retirement, he really tried to live life to the fullest. He began adopting miniature ponies and had SEVEN! He loved watching them run and graze on his acreage while drinking his morning coffee; he thought they were "cute." He was a very active and loving father and grandfather to his 4 grandchildren. His grandchildren were his pride and joy! He showed his love for others by acts of service. He was always providing a helping hand and most of the time would just show up without having to be asked. Whatever he could do to help, he did it and never expected anything in return. He had an endless amount of wisdom. He was a steady hand in a chaotic world, he was a straight shooter and never sugar coated anything. He was our best friend, our hero, our Gampy, our dad, our entire world.
Rocky is preceded in death by his father Jerry Canfield and his wife Sherry Canfield. Rocky is survived by his children Jason Conley and his wife Heather Conley; Lacey Canfield and her fiancé Steven Columbus; Laura Gill and her husband Christian Gill; grandchildren, Jaden, Ella, Aubrey, and Finn.
A memorial service will be held at 2:00 P.M., Friday, September 29, 2023, at the Eisenhour Funeral Home Chapel, in Blanchard. Arrangements are under the direction of Eisenhour Funeral Home of Blanchard.
