Rocky Garfield

Rocky Garfield, 63, of Terry died Dec. 8, 2025.

He was born Aug. 20, 1962, to Ernest Garfield and Nancy Gladys Comeslast.

He met longtime partner Catherine Wilson in April 2009 — this is when their friendship blossomed.

He would sit in the backyard and play his cheap flute. After he was playing that cheap flute, he got good at it. So, a very good one was bought and he fell in love with it.

While living in Lansing, Tenn., the idea of starting Spirit Wind was born. Spirit Wind did performances at schools, libraries, scout troops, private events and local pow-wows. Rocky would play the flutes and Catherine would play the drums. He just loved the children. They had Boy Scouts come to their house and camp for four days. They would show them how to make dream catchers, chokers, many other things and played Native games. Then, the couple decided to come back to Montana. He wanted to be with his family, but life was cut short.

He is survived by his sister, Winnifred “Winnie” Schafer; brothers, Randy lambert of Philadelphia and Ernest Comeslast; son, Noah Breckenridge; and soulmate, Catherine Wilson.

He was preceded in death by his sisters, Vera Jean Comeslast and Glory Overby; and brother, Kenny Comeslast.

A viewing was held Monday, Dec. 29. Clayton Stevenson Memorial Chapel was entrusted with arrangements.
