In Loving Memory of Rocky De Buano
2/10/1968 - 5/1/2016
Rocky was the founder and director of AZTI, establishing Arizona’s first Total Immersion program in June of 2003.
He was born and raised in Colorado, where he took his first sign language class. Rocky attributed his fluency in ASL to interaction with, instruction from and the influence of Deaf friends.
Rocky worked as an international and domestic interpreter most often freelancing in Arizona, Colorado, California, and Florida. Additionally, he had accomplished public speaker and presented many workshops on interpreting and Deaf topics.
Rocky De Bunao is greatly missed by interpreters, throughout the community, and by us at ASL Arizona Total Immersion.
