Michael H. Rodda

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Mike's family. He was a very special individual. Mike was my TA in the library at AJH and I will long remember him for his engaging smile and fun loving attitude.
Please accept my deepest condolences in the loss of your precious loved one.

MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AT THIS TIME..COURTNEY FORZETTING(class of 89 Oak Hills High Schol)

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Our hearts go out to his family and can only pray that your grief may be soothed by God's loving peace. Reflecting on memories of Mike, I would think he would love for his family to know that he was an inspiration to us in having a "joyful heart" and in his acts of kindness. A couple of my siblings and I rode the school bus with him. His amazing smile and good-heart gave all in his company comfort in "belonging." You have had the privilege of fostering a good man, son, brother, and uncle. ...

Mike and I seemed to cross paths at the strangest times, repeatedly all through our lives. We went to the same grade school, then again to the same high school for a while. I grew up across the street from his grandparents. Then we did some skydiving together in Lodi years later. We were never really close, but I'm certain my world is diminished by his passing, in ways that I have yet to fully understand.

I was introduced to "Tahoe Mike" when he first came off student status. He was a great kid and I invited him on our loads because he had that interest in learning that I always looked for in young skydivers. Over the years it was great to see him progress into the the experienced skydiver that he became. I lost track of him after he left Lodi. I'm really sorry to hear of his ending.
Blue skies, my brother.
