Rodney Kessler Obituary
He is survived by his beloved, Cheryl Lemon, daughter and son-in-law, Angela and Trey Miller; step-son, Kevin Tolley; grandchild, Nathan Weeks; two step-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews. Rodney's life was marked by his love for life, family, and helping others.
Per Rodney's wishes, no public services will be held. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in his memory. Rodney's legacy will continue through the lives he touched and the generous spirit he embodied.
