Wesley Patrick (Pope) Rockhold, 47, of Hopkinton, passed away after a courageous battle with cancer on June 22, 2025.  Born in Atlanta, Georgia, he was the son of Terry and Nancy (Hallam) Pope of Pensacola, FL.  He was the beloved husband of 21 years to Chelsea (Fox) Rockhold, with whom he shared 25 wonderful years.

Wesley’s adventure through life brought him to many great places where he found even greater friends and chosen family.  He graduated from Vacaville High School in 1996 before going on to The Ohio State University, where he met Chelsea. After graduating, Wesley was commissioned into the U.S. Navy, where he proudly served for four years, participating in both the Afghan and Iraqi wars. His service also took them to Hawaii and Italy. Following his honorable discharge, Wes pursued an MBA at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. He began his post-military career at Accenture Consulting before joining the family business, Acme Home Elevator, in California. He was with Acme Home Elevator through its acquisition by Stannah Stairlifts, after which he became the company’s Managing Director—a role that brought him and his family to Hopkinton.

Throughout all of the places he lived and worked, Wes could always be counted on as a dedicated friend and mentor, whether to family, friends, coworkers, or anyone in need. It was a role he not only excelled in but one that came naturally to him. He had a deep love of travel and cherished bringing family and friends along whenever he could. At home, he enjoyed many hobbies, from building LEGO sets and playing video games to serving as the Ultimate Dungeon Master for his Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. Above all, Wes found his greatest strength in the love of his family and friends

In addition to his wife and parents, Wes is survived by his five children: Logan, Landon, Kenneth, Annabelle, and Ellinore. He also leaves behind his sister, Kerri Parker of Atlanta, Georgia; his brothers, Ryan Hjärtberg and his wife Colleen of Eugene, Oregon, and Marc Duarte and his wife Janet Patterson of Indianapolis, Indiana; his niece and nephews—Charlie, Lyla, Sam, and Henry, and his in-laws, Thomas and Jayne Fox of Spring Lake, Tennessee; his brother in law, Tim Fox and wife Claudia of Orlando, FL, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, great-aunts, and great-uncles.

Visitation will be held on Friday, June 27th, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Chesmore Funeral Home of Hopkinton, 57 Hayden Rowe.  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Wesley’s memory to https://acpmp.org/get-involved/donate/
