Senaca Rhodes, beloved boyfriend, friend, and companion, was born on March 6, 1979, in Newark, New Jersey, to Duncty Rhodes and John Polosky.

On September 8, 2025, Senaca departed this world. Though he did not have children, he shared his life with many beloved animals and with his devoted life partner and girlfriend, Holly Atwell.

Senaca was a strong-willed and determined man, known for his business sense, but also remembered for his warmth, laughter, and the joy he brought to those around him. His presence was always filled with smiles and cherished moments that will be held dearly in the hearts of his family and friends.

Senaca is survived by his mother, Duncty Rhodes; his father, John Polosky; his uncle, David Rhodes; his aunt, Derinda, and her family; his many half-brothers and sisters; and his girlfriend, Holly Atwell.

Senaca will be deeply loved and missed forever, remembered always by those who were fortunate to know him. To his girlfriend, Holly Atwell, he will forever remain her human, and she his girlfriend alien.
