Rodney was the son of the late George and late Marie Tune. While being raised on the banks of the Duck River and the hills of Grinders Switch, he became a very skilled hunter and was taught to have a strong work ethic. He was a 1986 graduate from Hickman County High school where he was known as "Tunafish". With his virtuous heart and a giggle that would light up a room, he blessed this world with his positive spirit.

They were blessed with two children, Roger Alan and Phillip Andrew and six grandchildren, Jake Tune, Jordan Tune, Easton Tune, Zada-Grace Tune, Shelby Tune, and Rubye Tune. He was also blessed with two bonus children, Elijah Claud and Gabby Claud and a bonus grand Brynleigh Claud.
Rodney's siblings are Mark Tune, Lynne (Tom) Williams, David (Melissa)Tune, and half sister Teresa Harney. His best friend is Charles Horner. Rodney was the son in law to Malcolm and the late Jackie Claud. Siblings in law are Randy (Keisha) Claud, Jeff (Heavenly) Claud, and Becky Claud Robinson. He also has an army of nieces and nephews. A special thank you to Desirea Beard for her care for Rodney.
Rodney was baptized at the Nunnelly Church of Christ in 1986. He was a dependable employee for Owens Oil Co for over 20 years.
