Rod Singleton, age 68, beloved husband to Rhonda (nee Knutson) and father to Hunter, entered his heavenly home on January 21, 2026. He was a cherished son-in-law to Glenda and Chester Knutson (deceased) and brother-in-law to Darrell Knutson. Rod brought joy and laughter to all those he was around.

Rod was predeceased by his mother, Elaine Singleton.
