Ernest Henry “Rocky” Coe went to his eternal home with God on January 10, 2026. Son of Robert Coe and Norma Sneed Coe, Rocky was born in Knoxville, Tennessee. He lived there and in Liles, Tennessee in his early years. He and his family later moved to Hickman County, where Rocky attended high school.
Rocky is preceded in death by his dad, Bob Coe, and grandparents, Bennett Coe, Evelyn Neal Coe, John Thomas Sneed, and Rosa Spain Sneed.
Rocky is survived by his wife, Neeley Evans Coe and his mother, Norma Sneed Coe. He is also survived by his son, Eric Coe, daughter, Sydney Rogers (J.D.), granddaughter Jewell Rogers, stepson, Johnny Parks, and stepdaughter, Anna Parks. He is survived by many beloved cousins, nieces, and nephews, as well. Rocky also leaves behind three very special companions, Erika, his dog, and Diesel and Lucy, his cats.
Rocky was a very unique person. His own versions of saying things were famous. He was never hesitant to speak his opinion. He loved bringing joy to people by helping however he could or by making people laugh. Rocky had a giving spirit. He had a way of being tough while also being tender-hearted, especially when it came to people and animals in need. He was always willing to stand up for those who needed help.
Rocky enjoyed his job at Best Brands and had many friends there. He also enjoyed spending time with family and singing karaoke with friends. He will be missed by many.
