Rodney Cannon Obituary
Rodney, son of Robert Edwin Cannon and wife Anna Frances, nee Thomas, was born Feb. 22, 1957, in Homestead, Fla. He was united in marriage to Dian Lynn Eye, nee Briggs, June 12, 1994, and their families were joined as one.
Rodney was a Christian, and attended First Assembly of God Church, St. Clair. During his working years, he was employed by Daimler Chrysler Corporation, Fenton, where he worked as a forklift driver, retiring after 13 years of service. He also was a retiree of United Auto Workers, Local 136. Rodney had a variety of interests throughout his life, including fishing and hunting. He also loved to play the guitar, sing and tell funny stories. He loved animals, especially dogs, and most especially his pitbull, Rebel. What meant most to him was time spent with his family. Each of them held a special place in his heart, as he did in theirs. The love they shared and many precious memories they created will live in their hearts forever.
