Adam Emmett Rocha Obituary (1966 - 2023)

Adam E. Rocha, 57 passed away suddenly on November 14, 2023, in El Centro, California. Adam was born in Mexicali on March 16, 1966 and was raised in El Centro, where he pursued his education. He was a bright and curious student, starting at Washington Elementary School, moving on to Meadows Elementary, and later attending Kennedy Middle School. In 1986, he proudly graduated from Central Union High School, ready to embark on the next chapter of his life. Throughout his career, Adam demonstrated a strong work ethic and a dedication to serving his community. He began his professional journey at Cooks Market, where he was employed through a school program. His passion for helping others led him to work with ARC of Imperial County, where he made a significant impact. Adam's last employment was at Imperial County WTC, where he continued to support and uplift those around him. Adam's life was grounded in his love for Christ, a faith that gave him strength and purpose. He was an enthusiastic Charger fan, always ready to cheer on his team with the same zeal he applied to every aspect of his life. Fishing was more than a hobby for Adam; it was a chance to connect with nature and share quiet moments with friends and nephews. His adventurous spirit shone brightly as he rode through the desert, enjoying the company of family and friends. His neighbor's encouragement led him to discover a fondness for gardening, a pastime that allowed him to nurture life and find peace in the simple act of tending to the earth. Adam also found joy in the arts, particularly in coloring and painting, where he expressed his creativity and vibrant personality. Adam's memory will be cherished and kept alive by his loving family. He leaves behind his sisters, Yolanda Marshall, Noelia R. Cordova, Sylvia E. Rocha (Steve McCullough), and Stella R. Esques (Saturnino Esques), as well as his brother, Eloy C. Rocha Jr. (Diana J. Rocha). Each of them will hold onto the lessons he taught through his kindness, generosity, and unwavering positivity. Adam's absence will be deeply felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him. His laughter, his gentle spirit, and his capacity to love unconditionally have left an indelible mark on the hearts of his family, friends, and all the lives he touched. As we bid farewell to Adam E Rocha, we celebrate a life lived with purpose and joy. His legacy is a testament to the power of faith, the beauty of family bonds, and the enduring impact of a kind and generous heart. Though his time with us was cut short, the memories he created will continue to inspire and guide us. Adam's journey through life may have ended, but his spirit will forever remain a guiding light for those he loved. In honoring Adam's life, we reflect on the words of Helen Keller: "What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us." Adam's love, his joy, and his spirit are now a part of us all, never to be lost, always to be remembered. Adam will be laid to rest at Evergreen Cemetery with his mother on a later date. A Celebration of life will be held on December, 14th from 12pm to 2pm At the Moose Lodge 2310 Myrtle Rd Imperial CA.
