It's about that time of year, to pay respects to a man, that even to this day, I still wish I knew better. Regarding Mrs. Sandra Brown's note, I plan to come visit his grave sight once i'm in Military uniform, to pay tribute. I'm still thinking you, big man, and have you in my heart.

My wife and I spoke with Roderick a few days before this news.
We were shopping and always bought our things from you at RCW.
I wish I could have gotten to know you better. You were a friend even if we did nothing but talk on my visits to RCW which were fairly frequent.
I am sorry the world has lost one hell of a guy.
I am sad I have lost a friend of 7 yrs.
And mostly I am sad for your daughter you spoke so highly of.
Peace and healing for the pain your family must have.
Sincerely,
Branden Johnson

I wish I had been able to get to know him more. I only met him once, and though he spent a good couple days at my girlfriend's Graduation week, I feel like I didn't get a chance to connect with him and learn about him. Always said to be a hard-working man, it seemed it was nothing shy from the truth as he was always on the go- a real business man. I leave my heartfelt condolences to Him and his family on all sides, and may God rest his soul in peace.

My husband learned on November 17 of Rod's passing when he stopped by RC Willey's to talk to him. Needless to say, we were shocked and extremely saddened to hear of his passing. We, like so many others, became acquainted with Rod as a customer of RC Willey's. Rod was the BEST! That's the only way to describe him. We didn't know him personally, but, just in the short time we were customers of his, he came to hold a special place in our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and close friends. We know that God is taking special care of him now.
October 26, 2008
I spoke to Rod two days before his passing, I never would have guessed this. I was in love with Rod as little girl and always will have special place in my heart. My condolences to his sweet mother who was like a mother to me too. No matter how much time passes or what happens in life, please know I will always have a special place in my heart for u both. Love always.

I too first knew Roderick from the future shop. Whenever my family and I went to RC Willey, we would make sure he helped us or at least stopped to say hi. What a great person and friend. He will be missed by all. Our prayers and condolences go to all his family. May GOD bless and take care of Rodericks next journey.

I met Roderick when we worked together at Future Shop LLC, then later when we opened R.C. Willey together. Although we lost touch over the years, he made a lasting impression on everyone he came in contact with. He was a dedicated family man, genuine person, and a great mentor in everyones life. He will be missed! Our condolances to his wonderful family.

I just learned of the tragic passing of Roderick and it is sombering to say the very least. Roderick was always a guy that had a particular zest for life and this shined through at RC Willey, which is where my association began. I hope his family is finding peace at a time when things don't really seem to make much sense.

I first met Roderick when we both were temporary employees at HP. He was always talking about his family and how much he loved them. Everytime my wife and I would bring him our business, we would catch up on how each of our families were doing. He was so helpful and respectful. We visted him two Saturdays ago and chatted for awhile. He will be truly missed. We will continue to hold your family up in prayer.

I was so shocked to hear what had happened. I will never forget the day you brought your wife and cute kids up to RC Willey Corporate Office in Salt Lake, you were on your way to a Jazz game & I remember meeting you in person for the first time. I will miss talking to you. Not only were you a great sales person but you were also a great friend. Me and Rex will miss talking to you! Your wife and kids are in my thoughts and prayers.
