Gregory Rockhill Obituary

Gregory Rockhill

Gregory Rockhill, 56, of North Baltimore, passed away at 4 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2022, at his residence.

He was born March 28, 1966, in Elwood, Indiana, to Terry and Arlene (Sizelove) Rockhill. He married Mickey Striplin on June 21, 1986, and she survives.

Greg is also survived by his mother, Arlene (Richard) McCord of Muncie, Indiana; sons, Joshua Rockhill, Jacob Rockhill, and Malaki Peyton-Hobbs, all of North Baltimore; daughter, Chastity Peyton of Alexandria, Indiana; and sisters, Pam (Rob) Bennett of New Mexico, and Shelley (Roy) Brannon of Muncie, Indiana.

He was preceded in death by his father, Terry Rockhill; brother, Todd Rockhill; and sister, Missy Rockhill.

Greg retired from U.S. Army after serving our country for 20 years. He also worked for Norfolk Southern Railroad for 15 years, and most recently the last year for the Village of North Baltimore. He was a member of North Baltimore American Legion Post 539 and Fraternal Order of Eagles #2633. Greg was a great husband and father who enjoyed bowling and golfing, but most of all, loved life.

My name is Tim Chase. I served with Greg in Korea (Camp Castle) from 1998-1999. I was reaching out to Greg to invite him to my 60th birthday party when I read about his passing. Greg was extremely funny and a wonderful person. He was always the life of the party. May he rest in paradise until we meet again...I miss you Sapper!
