Rodney Atkinson Obituary
Rodney enjoyed playing baseball and hanging out at Lodi Lake in his younger years. Then he moved onto fishing, golfing and camping. He loved all animals, to ride his bike, especially Thursday night family bike rides in Star and watching movies and golf on TV. His favorite holiday was the 4th of July.
He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.

My deepest condolences to the family. Rodney and I grew up together in Lodi. We first met in 4th grade hanging out at Lodi Lake. We shared many adventures throughout the years. I will always remember him as a kind, fun and hard working friend.

There’s not enough room for me to write all the wonderful times we had together, so I will just say, Rodney was my brother. I will miss him every day. I will love him forever.
