He opened his first store in Tempe, Arizona, called Rollins Family Market. He has owned grocery stores in Pine, Heber, and Pinetop. After selling his businesses he worked for Bashas grocery store for 14 years. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He loved to serve; in fact, all who came into his home felt welcomed and loved. He loved his family and the Lord, and he lived his life for them. He is honored by his eternal companion, Ann Rollins, and his five children: Christy, the one and only, Daniel, the favorite, Kelly, his green-eyed baby, Debbie, the secret favorite, and Matthew, the one they finally got right. He has 18 grandkids, 4 great grandkids, and many souls who called him, Dad.
