I miss you so much, Uncle Rodney. Sitting here 15 years after your passing and I still cry like a baby. I just can't help it. I love you so much. Thank you for always loving me NO MATTER WHAT! sometimes I just chuckle thinking about when we lived at 1c and how you seemed to always get a kick outta getting me going. Teasing me and what not. I just miss you so much. I remember the last time I saw you. Running downstairs just to hug you. I knew you loved me without a doubt. I just hope you knew how much I love you too. I will keep your memory alive until it's my turn to cross over. You were right about everything too! Especially, about who I can trust when I needed to hear the truth. Thank you. I love you. Until we meet again, your niece, Bighead LOL! I love you deep.

I worked with Rodney at Lifenet. He was the comedy relief on the 11 to 7 shift and 3 to 11 shift at Lifenet. He was also, the one person I could debate with about politics, sports, history pretty much anything.My heart goes out to his family and his fiancee Nappaye. May the memories that you hold of Rodney have a special place in your heart so that you can find comfort there. "Crying may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning" Psalms 30:5. God Bless.
With Deepest Sympathy,

Our most sincere sympathies at this difficult time. My family had the pleasure of knowing Rodney as a close friend during high school. Aside from his wonderful athletic talents, Rodney was one of the nicest and most respectful guys to come in and out of our lives. Words cannot express the shock and grief as we, and many from high school who knew him, heard this terrible news. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and fiancee.

I had the pleasure of working with Rodney at Lifenet in VA. He was one of my favorite people, always smiling. Our shift was 11pm-7am, so smiles and good humor were a definitely a plus. To his family, I want to offer my sincere condolences and my prayer that God will comfort you now and the days to come.
