Rodney D. "Rod" Wilson

Although most of the time when we talk about Rod, it´s almost always something hilarious he said. But what I truly cherish about Rod is the love and encouragement he shared with Mike while Mike was in China getting Olivia. Bringing home a child is an incredible experience, but is also extremely tough. There is no way to adequately explain what that meant to Mike every time Rod reached out. And Rod reached out multiple times. Rod had such a kind compassionate heart. The Fiegels will always...

I have known Rod from our college days at KSU, and fortunate to have worked together several years later at PPI. Unfortunately life prevented us from connecting much over the last few years. He will be tremendously missed by all. My condolences to his family and friends.

We’re so sorry for your loss. I’ve known Rod since we were kids. He was such a lovely person and friend. I will truly miss him. Sending my deepest condolences to Nyla, Denise, Cory and the family.

I’m proud to say that Rod was a longtime friend and colleague in the aviation industry. We often spoke of business and the industry gossip, but most conversation turned to family and how proud he was of Corey. He will be missed by many in aviation but always in our hearts. My deepest condolences to Denise, Corey and the family.

We are so sorry to learn of Rod’s passing. Rod was a great person to work with. We attended many aviation events over the years. He will be missed. With our deepest sympathy to the family. Bill & Holly Lyman.

Oh Denise!!!!!!! I am sickened to see this. My deepest sympathy to you, your son, and family. He was a favorite person of mine when we worked together at Cessna. I am so very sorry his life ended way too soon. Sheryl Stanley

Rod was a person I respected and enjoyed calling a friend. We never talked enough, but our conversations were always enjoyable, but the best part was hearing about his family, especially how proud he was of his son. I will miss him. RIP Rod “Jefe” Wilson

I am so sorry to hear about Rod’s passing. He was a special guy, and I was privileged to know him. When Mike was in China getting Olivia, it was Rod’s private messages to Mike that brought him such encouragement. While Mike received lots of message, Rod’s touched him the most. I think about Rod’s quick smile which usually was accompanied by good hearted teasing. He will be missed. Please know you’re in my prayers.
