Rosalie, his mother, was a teacher and social worker for mentally ill people. Julius Rock, his father, drove a truck and brought newspapers to people. Julius passed away in 1988 after surgery for an abscess.
His parents had seven children, six boys and one girl. Rock was the oldest of them all. He had an older paternal half-brother named Charles Ledell Rock who died in 2006 after being an alcoholic. Rock’s three younger brothers, Tony, Kenny, and Jordan, are also in show business.
