Rockny Pena Cariaso, age 53 of Smyrna, TN, went to be with our Lord and Savior on Wednesday, October 27, 2021. He was born and raised in Sampaloc, Pantabangan, Nueva Ecija, Philippines. Rockny moved to Honolulu, HI in 1998 and then to Nashville, TN in 2000 in order to pursue better life opportunities.

Rockny was a loving husband, father, brother, and friend.  He was very loving, responsible, generous, and very determined. He was employed at Nissan North America in 2012 as a production technician. In his free time, he loved spending time with his family, tending to his garden, or attending bible study. The one aspect of his life that most will remember him by is his faith in the Lord. He was a very devout Christian and loved to discuss his faith and spread the love of God with others. In addition, he was extremely family oriented. Each one of his family members could depend on him. He had such a positive impact on the entire family and was an inspiration to all.
