He was known for always being there for people, making every room light up with his playful jokes, and always supporting people no matter what.
Rodney is survived by his parents Jacky and Karen Allen. His wife, Shannon Allen. His two daughters Taylor and Chloe Allen. His wishes were to be cremated after the service.
