Not sure what to say?

Dear Ronnie and Trudi,We can't even begin to express how very sorry we are about the passing of your wonderful son, Rodney. I remember seeing him when he was a little boy and how sweet and darling he was. As Rodney is described in this beautiful obituary, he sounds so much like our dear cousin, Ronnie. Always kind, giving and loving. That is how I have always remembered you Ronnie. We are sure Rodney has a similar personality to you also, Trudi.Sharon called me late last night and we are...

Rodney, Thank you for all the help over the years. My heart truly breaks for your girls and family. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.

You are an amazing person Rod that is all I can say you were great I miss you tons man it will never be the same.. watch out over your family they love you dearly, everyone you came in contact with loved you and always will. fly high man fly high.

Rod you will truly be missed, you where a great friend to my husband Trent and and a blast to be around camping and BBQ's, I will miss all the laugh's and belly aches that you have givin us, you where a true pleasure to be around, my heart truly breaks for your girls and family, I send out many prayer's and much Love that way

I have some much I want to say but can't seem to put it into words. This was such a tragic shock for all of those who knew Rod. I have known Rod for 23 years and we were married for 15 of those. And although we were not able to stay married, we were able to stay close friends.
I know that he will always be up there watching over our girls.
Fly high with the angels Rod!

Dear Ron and Trudi,
We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your son. I have thought about you and your family a lot over the years. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.

I had the pleasure of working with Rod for a few years at Allied Waste. He was a favorite. We connected over our love of Rock and Roll and a good comedy. I loved his goofy impressions and caring heart. He never thought twice about talking with someone or lifting their spirit. The love and gratitude he had for his family, also, showed daily and he was highly thought of. At work he was the guy that wanted everyone safe, on and off the clock. Rod was truly a good man and everything beautiful...

A solid, rambunctious soul, always smiling and making others smile. Dependable, reliable, honest, a stereotypical straight shooter. He's a rare man who touched the hearts of everyone he knew, and I feel privileged to have been a small part of his life. He'll be sorely missed by his many friends and brothers in life, but most by those daughters whom he desperately loved and cherished. Ride with angels, my friend.
