  1. I went to high school with Rodney. He was a good person back then and I’m sure that was the case all through his life. Rest in peace Rodney…a life well lived!

  2. Rodney was my father in law and I have many great memories of spending time on wagon trains with him and carol. He had a great sense of humor and the best devious laugh! He always showed up for us when we needed his help and love. He will be missed. But it is nice to know he is with Carol again as I am sure she is happy to see him again….

  3. I had some of the best memories growing up with Akiah. Visiting Rodney and Carol were the best. Riding Sugar … you will be forever missed ❤️
