Rocky and Rachel Iammarino's Obituary
Rocky Iammarino - 6/14/1982 - 10/11/2024
Rachel Iammarino - 7/26/1986 - 10/11/2024
Rocky Iammarino, 42, and Rachel Iammarino, 38, of North Ridgeville, Ohio, passed away tragically together on October 11, 2024, while enjoying one of their favorite activities, riding their motorcycle.
Rocky and Rachel were founding members of the beard club, the Beards of the Old Northwest. They played pivotal roles in organizing the yearly charity event that raised funds for various charitable organizations from Cleveland to Mansfield, Ohio. After their time with the Beards of the Old Northwest, they continued their community service through their motorcycle club, All American Motorcycle Club. They organized poker bike runs and held events at their clubhouse to support the communities they loved.
Despite their ongoing community involvement, Rocky and Rachel were most proud of being parents to their three children: Jude, Jonah, and Zao. Being dedicated Christians their home was always open, and visitors were greeted with love, laughter, and probably a hug or two. They had a unique ability to make everyone feel as if they had known them for years, even if they had just met. If someone needed a place to stay, Rocky and Rachel always had space available.
People will always remember them for their dedication to their faith, family, friends, and community.
They leave behind their children, Jude, Jonah, and Zao; Rocky’s parents, Jo and Dennis Iammarino; Rachel’s mother, Jain Baruth; Rocky’s sister, Andi (Phillip) Graham; Rachel’s brother, Tom Baruth; their niece, Sutton Graham; and countless other family members, friends, and a community that feels the profound loss of their passing. Their deaths have been felt by many across the country, but their impact will continue to be remembered. They were preceded in death by Rachels father John Joseph Baruth.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to their GoFundMe, set up to support their children in the coming months.
