In the film, his trainer was Mickey Goldmill, who in the story is an ex-bantamweight boxer from the 20's and the owner of the gym that Rocky starts out in.
Mickey Goldmill played by Burgess Meredith.
A synagogue.
Rocky's accountant somehow gained the power of attorney from the former heavyweight champion and then blew the Balboa fortune through bad business deals. Fortunately, the gym owned by Rocky's late trainer, Mickey, was in the Balboa family's control and Rocky began managing it.
Personal opinion: It's a plot device. Stallone kills off his trainer Mickey, Apollo Creed, and his wife Adrian in various sequels. It's an easy way to create drama. In Rocky Balboa, it's an excellent way to make you feel sorry for Rocky.
