Read MoreI am very sorry to hear of Rods death. As one of his roommates at Baylor, I admired his intelligence and ambitions. We all knew he would go far. Sorry, too, that I didn't know him in his mature years. My condolences to his family, especially little brother Larry.

The loss of Rod came as a huge blow to me. I went to HS with him at Monterey HS, Lubbock, Texas. He was an exceptional person.

He was one of the very closest friends I have ever had. We shared a lot of great times together, including having our first car wreck together. We were leaving church one Sunday night, and I...

I was in church with Rod in Lubbock, Tx. when we were in high school. He and I sang in a quartet together at church. I felt led to look him up on facebook tonight and I found out he had moved to Heaven. He was a special high school friend and I will miss him. Trisha

I am very sorry to hear of the loss and send my warmest sympathies and thoughts to his family. I knew Professor Surratt from my time as a student at SUCOL and learned a great deal from him. He was a great man, gifted teacher, superb musician, good friend, and always showed his sincere love of teaching and the success and happiness of all those he met. His stories and wisdom continue on in me and all he touched so closely. He will be missed.

Rod would fill any room he walked into with laughter and energy. He always left you with a smile on your face. He will be truly be missed.

I was at S.U. Law School while Rod was acting dean. I always went to his "Law and Baseball" lunch talks for the county bar association, at the end of which he'd pass out a quiz dealing with baseball history (which I usually flunked). He was a very competent, engaging, and cheerful person and will be missed.
