Robert “Rocky” Gonet of Ann Arbor, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend to all, passed at home on November 20, 2019. A pillar to the community, he was a social worker and educator for over three decades. His passion and creativity live on through his art. He captured the people and places he loved through the lens of his camera. Preceded in death by his parents, Chester and Anna Gonet, and his sister, Gail Gonet. He is survived by his loving wife, Marcia, his children, Rocky Jr, Joshua Barnes, Kalynn, Nicolas, and his beloved dog, Chester.
He was our rock. He was the kindest and most generous person, with a warm smile and genuine heart. Nothing and no one will ever be able to fill the void he left in our world. He touched the lives of everyone he met with his easy and out going manner. He loved life, he loved people, and he loved places and he sought to share that with the world through his camera. He will be greatly missed.
A memorial gathering will be held Sunday, November 24, 2019 from 1-5 pm at the Nie Funeral Home, 3767 W. Liberty Rd., Ann Arbor.
