Celebration of Life
Reception
Rocky Rainbolt
Rocky James Rainbolt passed away on April 17, 2025, in a losing battle with a broken heart. Our baby boy was born June 9th, 2003, in Wenatchee, Washington before a move to Pasco in 2008 where he grew up. He is survived by his parents Matthew and Christina, and his sister Ella. He also leaves behind loving grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and coworkers. A little light went out in us all with his sudden and tragic passing.
Rocky was a recent graduate of Washington State University Pullman, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration with a major in Finance. Prior to that he earned his AA degree at Columbia Basin College and graduated from Chiawana High School, all with honors. He started his career employed at AP Financial as a Financial Paraplanner. Welcomed into a new work family, he quickly made an impression on his team and clients. He was just getting started, paving a path with promise and direction to become a Financial Advisor like his mentors.
Rocky was a loving, loyal family man and friend to so many. He was an avid Seahawks fan. He enjoyed sports, fantasy leagues and gaming with his friends. He liked music, movies, shows and sharing those experiences with loved ones. With a nurturing heart, he loved his pets, and they loved him. He was an excellent problem solver, always taking on challenges for an opportunity to learn and complete a task, whether for himself or others. With a good sense of humor and quick wit, he would always find a way to bring smiles, laughs, and levity to a situation. He was super smart, driven, and disciplined. He was organized and meticulous. He sought order in the chaos and confusion that this life sometimes brings. He sought peace and resolve in the face of pain and adversity. Rocky had such a kind, gentle, tender, loving old soul. He always wanted to help, to be there, to lift others, to be a light in the dark. Let that light shine on and be a beacon in your hearts.
A service will be held at Sunset at Einan’s Funeral Home in Richland on May 24th at 2pm. Please join us to mourn Rocky’s death and celebrate his life. Let us gather to send his spirit onward and upward.

Words cannot express how deeply we miss you. Your father is right you were a light in peoples life that shined bright. You were the most selfless person I knew always doing things for other people and showing you cared! I was blessed to see you accomplish big wins in life. I was blessed to watch you win the cook off trophy during the holidays enjoyed watching you be your spunky self during family get togethers. Attended your high school graduation watched you play guitar in high school only to find out you and your team went on to state. I looked forward to the text messages from your mom bragging on how smart you were and what next big thing you were mastering! That smile was so bright and contagious and I’m sorry you were hurting alone. Nobody should go through heartbreak and pain alone. Your auntie misses your loving hugs. You no longer have to carry that burden you’ve been carrying but we are all so sad to see it end so soon. My hope is to see you in heaven one day! Rev. 21:4
Love you Rocky,
Auntie Melissa
