Rodney was known for his deep love of cars and spent countless hours under the hood, turning wrenches and sharing his passion with anyone who asked. A true car enthusiast, he found joy in the roar of an engine and the satisfaction of a job well done. He was also proudly known as a ladies’ man - charming, funny, and always ready with a story or a smile.

Rodney had a heart as big as his laugh. He would help anyone in need and was the kind of man who’d give you the shirt off his back without hesitation. His kindness, loyalty, and sense of humor made him unforgettable to all who knew him.

He was preceded in death by his father, Junior Taylor Eddington. He is survived by his loving mother, Earlene Eddington; his brother, Michael Eddington; and his children, Christopher Eddington and Curtis Eddington (Kasey).
