I remember when we were young. I always asked mom and dad to take me to Aunt Betty and Uncle Juniors house. I wanted to see Rodney. Lol I always thought he was so cute. I was 5. God has received a Great Angel. Love and prayers. Your cousin Vonda

God Speed Rodney. I will miss your smile, your humor, your love of cooking. Every time I make that Carolina style cole slaw, I will think of you and smile.
I remember when I first met Rodney and Sandy at the US 40 Yard Sale. He made that week so special for all of us. He’s hanging out with Jesus now and all the angels in heaven. He will be so missed. I’m praying for his lovely wife, Sandy, and his entire family. He was one of the best! One of his biggest fans, Dona Hope East
Prayers to Sandy and all of Rodney family. He is free to laugh, sing & be in arms of Jesus.
