On Thursday, Oct. 2nd, we got the unexpected and sad news that my father had passed away. It was so sudden, and we are all grieving his loss.

He was the most loved person anyone could ever know, loved by many, especially those who knew him. My father (Rodney) was the type of person who was always smiling, even through the toughest times and moments. He cherished every moment with a smile on his face and made sure to leave one on others' faces. He loved to work on the truck he built from nothing. He loved doing work around his house; even though he was disabled, he never let it stop him from doing what he loved. He also loved spending time with his dog, cuddling and playing with him. He loved him very much up until his dog (Harley) passed in his sleep about a year ago.

In this difficult time, many of you have graciously reached out, offering support and assistance. We truly appreciate your kindness. We are reaching out for help to cover his expenses at this saddened time.
