Local kid from Lafayette. One of LSU's leaders when he was playing with us and at Alabama.
Self inflicted. Please send up prayers. He was a great guy with a big heart. If you ever see someone battling depression, talk to them. Try to get them to open up/get help and maybe just maybe it could help.

Damn. Had freshman math with Rocky at LSU in 2000. Got to know him a bit. The next couple years we found ourselves battling against each other in juco baseball, he at Chipola and I at a school in Alabama. We always talked LSU football when the games were over. Sad to hear this one.
Eta: Rocky had calf muscles that would make Keiland Williams jelly.
Etaa: just scrolled his instagram page of pics and messages people posted of him. It seems he was an immensely loved guy, there is no telling what led to this.

It's been a rough day. Rocky was a true friend of the family. Knowing the kind of person he was, never in a million years did I think he would reach a fate like this.
RIP Rocky

Very sad day
I was fortunate enough to be teammates with both Rocky and Nick.
Easily two of the most fierce competitors I have ever known.

34 years old. 
RIP - and let this be a reminder to us all - if you cherish your friends and family - be good to them, be there for them. One day they're here, the next day they're gone.
And the Holidays are always a double-edged sword because of this. Depression is a bitch.

I grew up across the street from Rocky and idolized him growing up. We played wiffle ball in his yard nearly every day. His parents and brother are wonderful and I cannot imagine the pain they're feeling.
He was an incredible athlete but an even better person. He was an absolute stud at the peak of his athletic career but he always made time to come visit my brother and I hanging on the fence (we were like 12 and 10 at the time) after his football games at STM.
I learned a ton from him about how to handle yourself while playing sports, and I'll pass along what I learned from him to my kids.
This one shook me up today and I'm not I'll ever make sense of it.

I don't understand this logic. Depression for each person can be rooted in so many different things in life, or it could be a true simple brain chemical imbalance.
Just telling that person "to get help" is treating all of these situations like an illness. I swear to you there is no pill that just cures depression. It's especially concerning that someone who "cares " about this person pushes them off to a "mental health professional" who treats them more like a lab experiment than a human being.
It takes people they know that have been there to look into the issue, or something specific to that person. Illnesses don't cause people to pull a gun trigger.
He was having a rough time with life clearly, calling it an "illness" just makes it easier for people to rationalize the real shite people encounter in this world. The things around him failed, and he lost belief in his situation, and no one stepped up to ask questions or TRULY help him out.
Sorry, I just hate the "get him the proper help". I just read, "send him to some expensive psychiatrist who will then prescribe him expensive medications that he'll depend on for the rest of his life, and he'll make pharma companies rich ".
His issues were real.

Remember everybody, depression is a filthy liar. It tells you that nobody cares. It tells you that the world would be better off without you. It tells you that it will never go away. If you recognize depression, you CAN tell it to shut the frick up!
Talk to people, even if it's a stranger. See a doctor. What you are experiencing is unfortunately normal for many, many people. Someone will understand. Someone will help, and that someone may not even know that they are helping.

Sorry to hear this.

Known Rocky casually for 10 or so years. Great guy with a seemingly positive attitude. This is one that really shocks me. RIP my friend.
