Laurier Roderick Obituary
Son of Constance Roderick and Laurier Eugene Roderick Sr. (Red), he was born February 15, 1944, in Rumford, Maine.
He was preceded to heaven by his mother and father. He is survived by his wife Gwendolyn Graham Roderick (Gwen) of Eastman, GA; their children: Laurier Eugene Roderick III (Gene) of Dade City, FL, and wife Paula, Pamela Butler of Eastman, GA and husband Jimmy, Melanie Clever of Winter Park, FL and husband Tim, Stanley Roderick (Bo) of Dade City, FL and wife Tammy; Ten grandchildren: Krysta, Kayla, Brad, Seth, Logan, Bobby, Ben, Molli, Izabella and Ian; Eight great grandchildren: Braxton, Brentley, Luke, Clayton, Wrenley, Creed, Levi and Vaela.
Larry was a deeply beloved husband, father, grandfather, great father and friend to many. While we lost our most beloved dad, many have lost a friend and loved one in him. He has been a rock to many, a master at sarcastic humor and witty timing to others, and even a glorious pain in the neck, to what I'm sure is a small select few (because no matter what happened between you in your lives, once you were marked as important to him, he'd be by your side if you needed him). There was so much more to him than just dad, though to us that was his greatest roll - he was also a friend, a coworker and colleague, stand-in paternal figure, a handyman, artist, home designer, farmer, the list goes on and on. It was his wish that we laugh and reminisce and smile together during this time.
Per his request, there will be no services or funeral. There will be a celebration of life to follow for family and close friends.
