To Rodney my classmate, never met a stranger. You will definitely be missed. You would always take a name and give them a nickname. Rest in peace your light will still shine bright.

Rest in peace Rodney๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

I remember when we was in school and I was crying over a senior that broke my little heart at my locker and he walked by and said pretty girls don't cry. We was cool every since. A very genuine kind person who will be greatly missed. Rahsheda Etchison โค๏ธ

When I moved to Shelby a year ago and hee hired me at Wendy's he was the kindest person I knew if I was going through something he would offer a lending ear he will truly be missed as I see he was the voice of Wendy's where people was always asking where he was if they didn't see him. Fly high with the angels

I'm so sad to hear of the passing of dear Rodney. I didn't know Rodney personally. However, the times when I would visit my home church, Hopper's Chapel, I would make sure to look for him just to give him a hug and just to say hello. He was always so pleasant and he knew how to make people feel special and feel important. God gave Rodney a special gift of music. I will never forget Rodney playing a special role during the passing of my Daddy. The inspirational music he played and the songs he decided for the choir to sing during my Dad's memorial truly touched my heart. Thank you Rodney for being so kind hearted and so caring of others. You will truly be missed by us all. Sending prayers out to his family and friends...Sincerely, Karen J. Myers of Winston-Salem.

My condolences to family and friends. Rodney had the most beautiful soul. I worked for him at Wendy's. He was the best manger I ever had. He was a mentor and your friend. I will miss your hugs when I come into wendy for food. Rest in peace my friend...

Just to have a quick laugh few weeks ago with him and to see his departure,...man......To the family, Peace and Prayers for your strength. It was a blessing to know him

Rodney became my friend at Wendy's in Shelby. He was a man in whom the light of Chris shined forth to those he met. I was impressed originally by how he treated his workers (he was always calm, he always was looking to teach them how to do better, and he treated everyone with respect and dignity). I will be out of town this weekend and early next week so cannot attend the services honoring his memory. The family should be proud of him and the godly character he displayed in all circumstances. He was a man of honor and joy who brought credit to his Savior and his family. Bob Smith, Shelby NC.

Rodney will truly be missed. He brightened my day when he took my order in the mornings. He had a beautiful spirit and his spirit will be missed.

I always looked forward to seeing him at Wendy's. He would always ask me about my kids. He was cuz and I was mama. He was such an amazingly, authentic soul. He left a mark on a lot of folks. He will be truly missed. Michelle J.
