Rodney was the sweetest guy! He was always doing genealogy. He loved birds. He had a clock that made bird sounds on the hour. He loved watching BYU games. He loved serving in the temple and couldn’t wait til COVID was over so he could go again. He loved going to Bingo and winning prizes. He loved to wear his red and black plaid pajamas and his cute handmade animal beanie. He loved Pepsi. He loved watching wrestling. Rodney, you will be missed!
Love, Rebecca
I really enjoyed serving Rodney with my husband in the our downtown ward. He always had such a sweet smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye and enjoyed being in church on Sunday. He also had a sense of humor but was a man of few words and didn't express it readily.
He was generous with his means and presented to us when we left our downtown mission with a small Christus statue and temple globe.
We are honored to have known him.

My dear Rodney,
I miss you. Tears swell up when I think of Rodney and the life that he lived. He became part of our family when he lived in St. Joseph Villa Skilled nursing facility in Salt Lake City, Utah. Rodney was a blessing in my life as he helped care for my dad, at St. Joseph.
Rodney loved my dad, Tony. They became best friends, both serving each other the best you could. Now their love and friendship will continue.
After Tony died in June of 2018, I developed a special friendship with Rodney.
I visited him at St. Joseph and I am so blessed to have taken him to the Salt Lake Temple with lunch in the cafeteria after the session. Oh, how you loved the temple. One time he took me on a tour of the Salt Lake temple in parts that others don't see. He knew and loved the Salt Lake Temple.
On many Sundays Rodney would go with me as we went to our friends living in St. Joseph. Sharing a uplifting message and ending with singing his favorite hymn "I Am A Child of God"
On Thanksgiving dinner for family and residence, all he wanted was mashed potatoes without gravy. He loved mashed potatoes and peanut butter sandwiches.
Rodney was innocent, that is how I describe him. Pure sincere love for others, kind and innocent.
Till we meet again Rodney, I love you.

Rod was a kind man and devoted friend. He lived with disability but persevered and followed his convictions. He has inspired us to always do the best in our lives. We are so glad to have known this valiant man.
