I attended grade school and high school with Rodney. We went to prom together. He was always a gentleman. He was cool, calm, Christian, from a great family and when you were with Rodney, you were in good company. He was a proud, devoted family man. I was blessed to have known such a nice guy. My prayers are with his family. - Theresa A. Dear
