Esteban Rocha (Aguilar)

  Esteban Rocha (Aguilar), of Gulfport, Mississippi, passed away on November 21, 2024, at the age of 73. Born on January 2, 1951, in Durango, Dgo. Mexico, Esteban's journey was one marked by love, dedication, and a zest for life which touched everyone he met.

  Esteban is the beloved son of the late Miguel Aguilar, and Aurora Quezada. His legacy continues through his children, Steve Rocha, Donny Rocha, Kristie V. Molsbee, Adriel Rocha, Samantha Rocha, and Sandra Rocha, as well as his adoring grandchildren; Trey Rocha, Olivia Rocha, Manolo Rocha, Sienna Molsbee, and Hollen Molsbee. He also leaves behind, to cherish his memory, a host of extended family members and friends.

  A man of many passions, Esteban was the owner of an apple orchard in Durango, Dgo. Mexico. His entrepreneurial spirit and business sense were matched only by his commitment to his employees and the community he served.

  Esteban's love for the outdoors was evident in his enthusiasm for fishing, traveling, horse races, and horse shows, along with his love for raising roosters. These activities not only brought him immense joy but also provided cherished memories for his family and friends, who often joined him on these adventures.

  Above all, Esteban was a generous man, devoted father, and proud grandfather. His warmth and kindness were the cornerstones of his character, and he will be remembered for the way he uplifted those around him. Esteban's presence was a source of comfort and happiness, and his influence will be felt for generations to come.
