Robert Allen Rocene

Robert Allen Rocene died September 16th, 2023 at the age of 78. He was born on March 28th, 1945 in Little Falls, MN. He was the only child of Lester and Myrtle Rocene. The three of them lived on the family farm the first twelve years of his life, and then they moved into Little Falls and lived there for several years. His family then moved to Columbia Heights and in 1965 he graduated from Columbia Heights High School. He continued his education at the Minneapolis Vocational Technical College where he took a 6 month course and he received a certificate of training in small engine repair. He also went to Belsaw Institute where he took a twelve month course and received a locksmith certificate. He had several different kinds of jobs during his life time which included machine operator, shipping department worker, maintenance worker, small engine repair, woodworking, locksmith, and sharpening lawn mower blades. He also machined many small items on a turning lathe such as key rings, small miniature cannons and writing pens. He helped around the house in whatever way that he could always giving a helping hand. He attended First Covenant Church in downtown Minneapolis, and during that time he was a faithful usher serving the family of God every Sunday without fail always being pleasant and courteous to everyone he assisted. One of the most influential persons in Robert's life was Billy Graham. He has not had an easy life all these years as he has suffered many health issues during his life time. Yet he was able to work several jobs and he enjoyed life. In October of 2007 Robert moved into the Augustana Apartments downtown Minneapolis where he loved to mingle with the other residents. So much of the time he would go to the main part of the facility and be walking the halls to see who he could visit with. He loved his social life and enjoyed living there very much. Ever since that time his cousins Dale & Carolyn Miller have been there for him helping him with whatever he needed. In October of 2018 when he needed to have more care he moved to White Pine Senior Living. His mom preceded him in death in 1994 and his dad preceded him in death in 2007. He is survived by several cousins and dear friends. He will surely be missed. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" John 3:16
