Rocky Lee Andres, 63, of Lakeville, MN, formerly of Marshall, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Friday, October 9, 2026. Rocky was born on November 12, 1962, to Cletus Ambrose and Mable Clara (Schultz) Andres, completing their family of five sons and one daughter. Rocky’s love for the outdoors began at an early age, camping, fishing, and hunting with his family. Rocky was a dedicated Boy Scout where he learned many lifelong skills. Growing up, Rocky had a tight knit group of friends, with many remaining in his life at the time of his passing. Rocky attended Holy Redeemer Catholic School through eighth grade. He graduated from Marshall High School in 1981. After obtaining his Bachelor’s Degree in Hospitality from SMSU, Rocky worked for Marriott Hotels. After a few years in the hospitality industry, Rocky embarked on a 30 plus year career working for Retail Data Systems in Eden Prairie, MN. He truly loved his work traveling the country, sharing his technical skills, and building lifelong friendships along the way. When Rocky wasn’t working, he had many passions. He enjoyed quality time with family, friends, his cats, cooking, gardening, traveling, boating on the Mississippi River, and camping. Later in life, Rocky fought a courageous battle with cancer. Despite the immense physical and emotional toll this took on his body, Rocky never lost his faith.
