Brandon's obituary
Brandon Patrick Rodman, 41, passed on from this world on October 13, 2022. He was born to James Harvey Rodman and Jeann Larayne Powell in Springfield, Ohio on June 17, 1981 and is survived by his parents, sister, Michelle Griffith, brother and sister-in-law, James and Darcy Rodman, along with his nieces and nephews: Ben Rodman, Nick Rodman, Xavier Griffith, Kendall Griffith, Korren Griffith and long time friend, Suzy Adkins. He was preceded in death by his sister, Tracey Rodman, and his 4 grandparents, Edna & Robert Hempstead and Zelma & Harvey Rodman.
Brandon graduated from Northwestern High School in 2000 and received a Bachelor in Science Communication Degree from Ohio University in 2005. He was proud to be a Bobcat and an active member of their alumni network in Nashville.
Brandon worked at Covenant Physician Partners and was passionate about helping others, whether by making care packages for the homeless or indirectly through his career in healthcare technology. In his free time you could find him gardening, enjoying music, working on home improvement projects, cheering on the Bobcats/Bengals/Reds, and spending time with his close circle of friends. Brandon was a compassionate, supportive, fun-loving friend to family, friends, and coworkers.
In honor of Brandon's medical journey and the organ transplant that extended his life, the family asks that all donations be made to Vanderbilt University Medical Center or Donate Life TN.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, November 12th at 5pm EST in Springfield, Ohio at the Courtyard Marriott. Please dress warmly and casually.
"As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend." (Proverbs 27:17)
