In life, Rodney was a true example of being the life of a party. With his Coors Light in hand a quick word in jest, Rodney knew how to make the most of the time he spent with the people he enjoyed. The weekends were reserved for golf and The Saints. Armed with his golf bag and his brother Joe, Rodney left the linx with smile on his face and a beer in hand-regardless of the score (if anyone was keeping one!) The only thing that could get Rodney to miss a tee time was The Saints. On any given Sunday, when The Saints were home at the Dome, Rodney was in his next favorite place to be, in his seat, with a $9.00 Coors and his son Keith, by his side. Rodney loved the spirit of New Orleans. A long time member of the Krewe of Centurions, Rodney celebrated Mardi Gras like royalty.
