Rodney Baysingar Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 23, 2025.
Altona - Rodney (Rod) James Baysingar 71, of Altona, Il died on Dec. 22, 2025 at Richard L Owen Hospice House of Peoria, Il. He was born on August 18, 1954 in Peoria, Il.

Rod is survived by his wife, Carolyn, son Cody (Tiffany) Baysingar and 2 grandsons, Weston and Sawyer. Brother Larry (Susan) Baysingar. Sisters Sandy Fredrickson, Rose (Jeff) Martinson, Judy (Tom) Hartman, Milenda Lord (Mike Adams), and Laura (Mindy) Wilson. Several nieces and nephews who he love dearly.

He was preceded in death by his parents, son Levi Baysingar, brothers Jerry, Leslie and Miles Paul.

Rod attended ROVA Schools. He was a friend to many and loved by all. Rod worked for E.W. Houghton Co in Altona and then Galva until their closing. He worked for several yeas at AC Mc Cartney in Wataga.

Rod was a jack of all trades and would have made a good Jeopardy contestant, as he was a world of knowledge.

He loved to fish, roll the dice with "Fuzz" and "Carly"and sit on his deck to feed and watch his birds. He was a die hard Packers fan!

Cremation rites have been accorded with a memorial service to be held at a later date.

Memorials may be made to the family.
