Rodney James Laubach, adored husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother, left his earthly home and joined his Lord and Savior in Heaven on February 9, 2021. He was born in Clinton, Oklahoma, on January 8, 1943. He was preceded in death by his parents, Roger and Adeline Laubach and his son, Brett Laubach. He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Rhoda Laubach, son Mike Laubach and wife Susan, daughter Laura McEntire and husband Joe of Colleyville, Texas, grandson Justin Laubach and wife Katie, granddaughters Avery McEntire, Keely McEntire, and Kamryn McEntire, step-granddaughter Emma Petry and husband Skylar, step-grandson Andrew Bushman, great-grandchildren Liam Laubach, Troy Petry, and Addison Petry, sister Lynn Lang of Deer Park, Texas, as well as his large extended family of cousins, nieces, nephews, and aunt, Mareen Hallmark, of Elk City, Oklahoma.
Rodney graduated from Putnam City High School and Oklahoma City University. His 60 year business career and partnerships included DECO Distributors, BC Steel Buildings, Port Duncan Resort on Grand Lake, Vandament Properties and Paramount Industries. He was still actively involved in business until shortly before his passing. Rodney was a gentle man known for his kindness, wonderfully wry sense of humor, and enthusiastic laugh that brightened any place he entered. He was enormously generous and known as the consummate care-giver for his loved ones. He was devoted to his family and was the one everyone turned to in time of need. He enjoyed the simple pleasures of fishing, hunting, being at a lake or beach and spending time with family. He always had a gold dollar in his pocket, ready for when he lost a bet with his son or grandson. He will be missed dearly.
Viewing will be at Chapel Hill Funeral Home on Friday, February 12, 2021 from 4 pm- 8 pm.
A private family Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the American Cancer Society or to a charity or church mission program of your choice.
