Glen Rocky Mayhorn

Glen "Rocky" Mayhorn, born on December 31, 1957, in Delaware, departed from this world on November 21, 2024. His life was a vibrant tapestry, woven with the threads of hard work, laughter, and deep connections with those he loved. Finishing his journey at the age of 66, Glen lived life on his own terms, embracing each moment with an unwavering spirit that made those around him smile.

Throughout career, Rocky dedicated himself to the lumber industry, finding joy in working at multiple lumber yards. It was not just a job for him; it was a labor of love that fueled his passion for driving the forklift, a task he relished. He was not one to shy away from hard work, and his dedication shone brightly in everything he did.

A true original, Rocky may not have graced the stage, but he lived the essence of a rockstar, living boldly and unapologetically. He carried within him a heart of gold, one that radiated kindness and compassion. His sense of humor was infectious, marked by a wit that could lighten even the heaviest of hearts. To know Rocky was to appreciate the delightful blend of mischief and warmth that defined him—a man who didn’t tolerate nonsense but embraced the joys of life with unyielding enthusiasm.

Music was Rocky's pulse; it was the rhythm that danced through his daily life. He cherished moments filled with melodies, often accompanied by laughter, as he gathered with family and friends, reveling in the happiness that came from togetherness. His family meant everything to him, and they were the anchors that kept him grounded in the whirlwind of life.

Rocky leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter that will echo in the hearts of those who knew him. He is survived by his son, Glen Rocky Mayhorn, Jr.; his mother, Mary Elizabeth Mayhorn; and his siblings: Wendy Leazenby and her husband Tony, Tim Mayhorn, Cathy Mayhorn, James Mayhorn and wife Amy, Jeremy Mayhorn, Jon Mayhorn and his wife Kelli, and Melissa Martin and her husband Jon, along with his brother Josh Mayhorn and fiancée Mandi Delano. His life also touched the lives of several nieces and nephews, each of whom will carry the memory of his vivacious spirit forward.

Preceding him in death was his father, Glen Mayhorn.

As we gather to celebrate Rocky's remarkable life, our hearts brim with gratitude for the moments spent with him. Visitation will be held on November 29, 2024, from noon until 1:00 PM, followed by a memorial service at 1:00 PM, both hosted at Raymer - Kepner in Huntersville, NC.
