Very saddened to hear the news of the passing my old school friend Rod Wee Hee.
When I got to Bendigo High in Year 11 he had been there from Year 7 but in a very short time I felt like I'd known him all my life.
Deepest sympathy to his lovely family.
Rest in peace Rod, in between shooting a few hoops on heaven's basketball court.

Remembered as a great friend and lovable guy through school. Bendigo sport has so much to thank him for. Gone, but never forgotten. Sympathies to all of his family.

A heart of gold stopped beating, two twinkling eyes closed to rest. God broke our hearts to prove he only took the best.
Our deepest sympathy to the WeeHee family on the sudden loss of our handsome cousin, words can't describe the embarrassment or joy you brought to all of our lives. There won't be a day that passes that you won't be remembered.

I'm shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of Rod. What you did for basketball in BENDIGO will never be forgotten. Although we didn't bump in to each other often I will never forget your laugh and generous nature. Deepest sympathies to the entire Wee Hee family my thoughts are with you.

It is surreal !
Heartfelt thoughts to Fay and all the cherished extended Wee Hee family.
So many memories from childhood; sporting - Basketball, Sth Bgo footy; and socially - that saw you the life of any party, and the sincere chats sharing a bar stool at a local watering hole.
The cold days by a hockey field were fleeting but were where you helped shape Junior Rep hockey.
Your footprint on Bendigo will be remembered, but a greater footprint on our hearts is cherished.
Your huge laugh and greeting with a sparkle in your eye will be missed.

Fantastic memories of a someone that even after all of these years still holds a special place in my heart
You were often the devil in disguise.
That quick wit smile and infectious laugh but beautiful soul meant you literally got away with just about anything
My love and sympathy to the Wee Hee clan that for a few years I was lucky enough to feel part of

Sorry for the loss of our dear nephew Rod. Loving thoughts for all the Wee Hee families and Emma and family.
A bloke who was fun to be with, who accomplished much, and was a reflection of his family values.
Now who will help us drink the red?

Deepest Sympathy to all the Wee Hee Family.
All I have is disbelief that this has happened. Rodney, you were there for me only 10 weeks ago and that was the last time I saw your face. I will miss those random text messages and will always remember the laughs and your wonderful smile.
Love you. Miss you MLB
