Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this most unfortunate time of bereavement. Rodney was always very respectful, and was looked up to as a "big brother" to our daughters, Nicole and Alexis. We will truly miss his "how you doin' Sir" or "how you doin Mom" whenever or wherever he saw my wife or myself.



His was a tragic loss to a life full of promise for the future.
