John Rhodes, always a kind heart,
Rest In Peace until we all will meet again.
Blessings to you Terri

John was such a good man! I remember the first time I met him. He always had a smile and was always so pleasant. He was always doing for others. Thoughts and prayers for his family.

Working with John Rhodes gave me an opportunity to get to know the man behind the image and reputation. He was a unique individual and genuine person. He worked with all his might and loved with all his heart.

There will never be another John Rhodes. He’ll be missed by all who knew him. He’ll also be remembered by those whose lives will continue to improve due to his accomplishments and devotion to his community.

John Rhodes has a legacy most can only aspire to.

I knew John when I worked at WBTW as a journalist. One thing I can say he was always up front about what he thought and there was no denying his love for the city. He headed the city during a critical time and I think he was the right person for the job. I also know Terri and the love they shared. My heart is broken for her loss, but I know the love continues and will fortify her in the days to come.

You will be missed! R I P

John was an incredible ambassador for the City of Myrtle Beach and the Beach Ball Classic. Always a gracious host and welcoming to outside guests like myself. We should all have people like John in our lives - friendly, hospitable, professional. Inside basketball, Johns long commitment to the Beach Ball and the McDonald´s All-American Game committee was well recognized by his peers. His friendship with Morgan Wootten was the bridge to our relationship. We talked right after this years...

I want to offer my deepest condolences to the family of Mayor Rhodes. He was a friend of mine many year's before becoming the Mayor of MYRTLE BEACH. John always made time to talk with everyone. He was a constant visitor at MUSC when my wife was ill. He actually helped us financially during this time opening a bank account in Melinda's name. I was proud to be his driver to several events during his time as Mayor. He will always be remembered and loved and will live in our memories. RIP
