Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.   You will be missed Rod.  RIP

We met Rod (and Janice) at Blaise Baptist Church in Mocksville, NC.  We became good friends and spent precious time together before they moved to Oregon.  Rod had a huge positive impact on both of our sons and the memories will always be treasured.  Rod, we will see you again "on the other side."

I have known Rod since we were at South Seattle Community College. I stepped back when he met Janice. Please contact me; I’d like to help with arrangements. 
My best memory is the letter I received from him long ago; he wrote that while listening to “Son of a Sailor Man” he had an urge to travel, perhaps to South America. So he had packed his duffle bag and headed down to the hall to check out the ships leaving. One was headed to Diego Garcia! He ended up in Bahrain! But he wrote of that coral atoll and the warmth of the people there. I miss him terribly.
A Mass is being said at Holy Rosary Catholic Church for Rod on September 11th, however because of covid, no one may attend. We will all just do something special that day in his memory.

... Shatter the darkness..
Thank you Rod , for that!
My sincere and deepest condolences to Rod's family.
I didn't now Rod for very long but his big warm heart drew me in.
When Rod and I got together to pray, He always prayed for his daughter and  "grand midgets " as he would say...  He prayed for their protection,  provision, and for their faith to blossom and grow. His entire focus and attention was on their well being and I can assure you that he would do anything for them... yes He had the deepest Love for Nina and the "grand midgets " thee biggest smile I ever saw was when he said he was thinking of their hugs and cuddles after visiting them...
So... "be in the light as He is in the light", my brother in Christ . I'll see you soon...
