Rodney was a great man and an awesome friend he always helped anyone out if he could and he was just the most loyal friend anyone could ask for. He always has something silly to say and would always make you laugh no matter what kind of day you were having Rodney would and could make your day better and you would leave with a smile after speaking to him..I met Rodney when I was a 7th grader at Mansfield High, and although he was a few grades higher than me we were friends,, and a group of us would get together on weekends and just hang out and do silly things together..I will never forget them times or the fun times we had after we got out of school..We have always remained friends all these years,,I will miss him a lot his smile his laugh and just Rodney being Rodney .not only will he be missed by me but my daughters and everyone that knew him..my prayers and thoughts go out to his family he loved you all so much..God Bless..RIP Rodney..
