I also did not know him personally but after seeing his story on the recent Dr Phil, I wanted to know more about him. What a remarkable life and how fortunate his community was to have him in it. Prayers for his family.

I just had the pleasure of meeting Roderick via Dr Phil's Friday flashback today. I was immediately struck with what a kind and gentle soul he was. I was saddened to see he is no longer with us. Although I didn't know him personally, his bright light shone on this afternoon's show. I'm sure he's up in heaven carrying on his ministry!

I just saw him on a rerun of Dr. Phil from 10/02. I immediately liked him and he seemed so sweet. Then at the end of the show they do a RIP to him so I had to google to see what happened! And I read all about him and his life. What a sweet and great man. It’s so sad that he passed so young I wish I had known him. RIP

I just seen Ron Durnham on The Show Extremely Weight Loss. I'm so very sad because I actually fell in love with Ron Durnham. I looked pass his weight issues and I identified with him in so many ways such as when Ron said many people often said how handsome he was and he was.
I loss my only son Sammy on April 25,2014 to a senseless murder but watching Ron Durnham with his amazing determination really haa inspired me to begin exercising. I need to lose atleast 15 or 30 pounds.
To Ron Durnham family,friends and students you have my sincere condolences during this difficult time.
Ron Durnham I believe you and my son Sammy are two of the most beautiful Angels in Heaven.
