I was saddened to hear of Rodney’s passing. I can remember him as a cheeky boy, and a clever, comical young man. I recall his antics in my senior English class. Being only 8 years his senior, he taught me a great deal about classroom management. I offer love and care to the family, and offer prayers as you navigate this profound loss.
Marcia, I am saddened to learn of Rodney’s death. Thinking of you.
Johnny, Marcia and family,
I’m so sorry to hear of Rodney’s passing. Lifting all of you in prayer during this sad time.🙏💕
