Rod is survived by his father, Ray in Sherwood Park; brother, Randy (Debbie) and their daughter, Jerilyn in Sherwood Park; and sister, Loriann (Terry) McLachlan and their sons, Dustin and Dana.
Rod will be remembered for happy and positive attitude no matter what troubles he endured. He was always happy to visit with anyone and talk about the past. He was happy with what he had, and never wanted for anything other than his cigarettes.
