He was real close with my lil bro Kam. I didn't hang with him much but he was always kind and smiling. A really great person to be around. My heart goes out to everyone missing him, he was just that awesome.

Rodney,Deena,and Family, I am so sorry about your loss. I've worked with Rodney Sr.and always asked about his sons. He showed me photos of the boys and expressed that he was proud of them. Rodney III was full of potential and a bright light. If there's anything I can do, please don't hesitate to ask. Praying for the family.

Rodney was a really cool kid, I didn't have the honor of working in any classes with him, but we said good morning almost every day for three years. I saw him in the hallways, always surrounded by friends, making them smile. My heart breaks for everyone that had his light in their lives.

Teachers, coaches and other staff are so immersed not just in the education of our children but how they live and grow as humans. Everyone knew Rodney and losing him will be a devastating blow to the entire...

Very sorry for your loss. I was lucky to have a few interactions with him when I attended high school. Very wise, funny young man. I wish you all well, and you have my condolences.

Everyone looked up to him even if we were olde. he was able to finish high school and go to college and get out of the Indy area. what happened to him is A tragic he will be dearly missed by all!
