Robert M. Rothenberger, Chicago, IL— Known to many as "Rocky," Robert M. Rothenberger passed away on November 4th, 2024. His death has left a deep void in the hearts of his family, friends, and the Midwest paintball community. Rocky, a Vietnam War veteran, was not just a coach and mentor, but a beloved figure who dedicated over 20 years to the sport of paintball, guiding countless players to success, many of whom went on to play professionally in the National Xball League.
His sister, Virginia Floyhar, has set up a fundraiser to help cover the costs of his funeral. She described her brother as a proud man who never revealed the extent of his health and financial struggles. He always assured those around him that everything was fine, and it was only after his passing that she learned of the difficulties he faced. The fundraiser, which has raised $200 so far, is a testament to how deeply Rocky was loved and respected by those around him.
The paintball community, in particular, has expressed their sorrow and admiration for Rocky’s contributions to the sport. Mark Sava, a supporter, donated to the cause and shared his thoughts on the lasting impact Rocky had on the community.
Rocky’s legacy, not just as a coach, but as a mentor who touched the lives of many, will continue to live on in the stories and memories shared by those he mentored and loved. His passing marks the end of an era for many, but his spirit will remain in the hearts of those who knew him.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Robert Rothenberger’s family, especially his sister Virginia, during this difficult time.
