Meet Rocky Twitchell

LDSMAA member since October 2014
In May 2014, I lost my Father Rocky Harry Twitchell to Liver Cancer. About 13 years ago my
dad discovered he had Colon Cancer and had over a foot of his intestine removed but refused
any kind of treatment after the surgery. The doctors and myself told him he should get treated to
remove the cancer completely but he refused. So 13 years later the cancer spread to his liver. He
died at 67 years old. Great man, member of the church for over 40 years and a full tithe payer
and faithful member every day since he was converted to the Gospel. He will be missed.
In church I went from Elders Quorum Teacher to CTR 7 teacher in Primary! I love teaching the
young kids and singing in Primary!
In the martial arts field I became a member of the LDSMAA organizat
