Rodney Curtis Ward

1972 - 2021

Rodney Curtis Ward passed away in Amarillo, TX at Northwest Texas Hospital on January 22, 2021, at the age of 48. He was born in Tucumcari, N.M. on July 22, 1972, to Helen Ward. Preceded in death by his sweet loving daughter, Karen Ward; and grandparents Joe and Hazel Ward.
He attended college at UNM where he played Rugby, designed 3D Hologram for NASA, and then graduated with his Computer Engineering degree. After graduating he began working for Lockheed Martin in Colorado. Then he went on to work at New Mexico Software, where he designed and developed Magzoom. He then was one of the first to begin google target marketing for RV companies and lawyers. He became tired of others making money off his hard work and ideas, so decided to become an entrepreneur. That is when he fell in love with sacred geometry that led him to want to build geodesic domes at a low cost. He created his first design in his garage. So for the last 15 years he has run his own business creating children dome climbers and connectors for green houses.
Rodney lived a unique life and found comfort in always trying to help others. He will forever be remembered by his sons, Trenton Ward, Frank Ward, and daughter Brooklyn, sister Tammy Newsom; brother-in-law, Joey Newsom; nephew Chase; and niece, Dru. Along with all his loving aunts, uncles, cousins, life long friends, and his Amarillo Town Club family.
