Rock 'n' roll wasn't just his favorite genre, it was his soundtrack, his compass and his escape. He believed a good song could fix a bad day, and that there was no problem that couldn't be eased by turning up the volume. He loved hard, lived freely and stood true to who he was – a rebel with a cause and a heart full of rhythm. Rodney worked tirelessly in the world of commercial construction, dedicated to providing for his family, embodying the values of hard work and commitment throughout his career. Outside of his professional life, Rodney found joy while fishing and inspiration in heavy rock music. Known for his unwavering enthusiasm, he was a regular at concerts like Carolina Rebellion and Ozz Fest, always eager to immerse himself in the energy of live performances. A passionate Pittsburgh Steelers fan, Rodney showed his team spirit wearing his favorite jersey on game days. He always cherished his family and delighted in spending quality time with his children, whether it was attending a concert or enjoying a traditional pig pickin'. As a devoted grandfather, he shared countless cherished moments with his beloved grandchildren, creating memories that will be treasured forever. As the final notes fade and the lights dim, we know the music lives on – in our memories and in our hearts. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew and loved him. May he rest in eternal peace.
