Maynard was born on May 15, 1956, in Lakeland, FL to parents Maynard Ray Sr. and Sylvia Wells Elliott.
Rocky worked as a cemetery operator in Oak Hill Burial Park for several years. He was a kind and loving husband. On his Harley Road King and she on her Indian, he thoroughly enjoyed riding motorcycles with his wife, Kristen, and mother-in-law, Reba. He enjoyed air boating and was especially fond of metal detecting. He was a member of the Gold Digging Club. It was a longtime goal and dream to go out west to camp and dig for gold alongside Kristena.
Rocky was preceded in death by his parents, his sister, Farron Tozian, and niece, Millona Tozian, and was by his wife's side when they lost her mother, Reba Harnage, last month, May 14, 2023.
