Rocky was born September 6, 1963, in Walla Walla, Washington to his parents Gary and Viola Allessio. Rocky later moved to Kennewick, Washington. He married and was later divorced. He had two beloved children, Vincent and Roxanne Allessio. Cooking was Rocky's passion, and he was an executive Chef. He also had worked for Frito Lay in California, spent time as a roofer in the Tri-Cities, and built inground pools in Florida for several years. He came back to Kennewick and pursued his cooking career. He worked as a Chef for the Red Lion Hotel, The Toyota Center, as well as many fine restaurants over the years. Rocky lived in Vancouver, Washington where he ran a men's recovery house for several years. His most recent job was the Chef (Rocco) at KoKo's in Kennewick. He loved this job, and the owner and coworkers were like family. Rocky was a member of AA for most of his adult life. He found his sobriety there and with his strong and loving relationship with the Lord. Rocky enjoyed fine cigars and was an avid collector. He had an extensive collection (much of which he acquired from Cigar Savy where they were all considered friends). He loved to talk about and share his passion for cigars with family and friends. He loved spending his free time with his family and enjoyed family dinners. Rocky loved to bake bread, and BBQ, and Italian food. He was very proud of his Italian heritage. Rocky is survived by his son Vincent Alessio, daughter in-law Kylee, and granddaughter Vada; daughter Roxanne Tucker; sister Roxanne Berger and brother in-law Ted; stepbrothers Andy, Kenny, Brad, and Mike Savage; stepsisters Carol Muzik and Joie Moring; and an abundance of beloved nephews, nieces, cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends.
