Ronald “Rocky” Lynn Current was born Aug. 26, 1952 to Lyle and Angeline Current in Sleepy Eye. He graduated in 1970 from Sleepy Eye High School and went on to technical school. He began work as a Boiler Operator for the city of Sleepy Eye until 1998. Rocky then began working at Kraft as a Boiler Operator/ Refrigeration Specialist until retiring in 2007. During his working career, Rocky also spent 25 years as a volunteer firefighter for Sleepy Eye until he retired in September of 2000. Rocky was then united in marriage to Ramona Klossner on September 19, 2015.

When he was not working, Rocky loved hunting, especially in the Black Hills or Wyoming. He also enjoyed airplanes, and baseball. Rocky’s grandchildren were incredibly important to him. He made every effort to go to their baseball/softball games, play games of marbles, or spend time with them in any way he could. Rocky was a member of R.M.E.F. and the N.R.A. Many special memories were made going on a mule ride in the Grand Canyon, at the Buffalo Roundup in Custer with his family, and clearing away Boundary Waters canoe area after the storms in 1981. Rocky will be dearly missed by all who knew him. Blessed be his memory.
