Rodney was a close friend, always funny, caring, and the sweetest person ever. Even though we were only in the same class for a year, he was so easy to talk to and get to know. We will never forget how much light he brought to our lives.

May The Most High provide comfort to our family. May Rodney Jr's energy join with the light of The Most High in the Place beyond space and time. Rodney Jr's energetic spirit would always light up a room as his musical talent, inquisitive nature and passion for technology always shined. Positive memories of Rodney's time with us will continue to fill our hearts. God Bless.

I’m so so sorry for your loss. I only ever had one class with Rodney; seventh grade science. With him in the room it was such a fun class, and whenever he missed a day or was sick it would feel like a piece of the group was missing. I remember once he took photos of us in class and I asked to see them afterward. I’m so sorry.

I had the honor of teaching Rodney art at Centennial Academy. His smile & kind spirit was his trademark along with so many talents. Heaven is surely rejoicing with his presence as we mourn. Thank you Rodney for your loving spirit which surely gave me comfort even as an adult.

When Rodney and I came to Paideia as new kids when we were in 6th grade, he was the first friend I made at the school as connecting with people was one of his many talents. He was bright, empathetic, always open to new things, and had this contagious smile that would spread to whoever witnessed it. Rodney was playful and silly but surprisingly mature when it mattered, making him a blessing to be around. Deepest condolences to Rodney's family and close friends.

Rodney was a beautiful light and spirit. I was so blessed to have known him and thankful that I was able to witness his brilliance. Rodney’s love for education was at the forefront of everything he did. He walked with purpose and conviction. May his spirit continue to bless us each day. My sincere condolences to Dr. Earl and the entire family.

Rodney's spirit proceeded him before he entered a classroom. It was one of the most amazing lights I have ever had the opportunity to encounter or teach. His spirit has been here before and knew its mission.
Even as a little child, Rodney could ease a troubled soul with just his light's presence. He walked with authority, because was confident that when his job was done, God would say, "Well done."
I am thankful that God gave me the opportunity to meet such a light here on earth. May Rodney continue to complete his purpose.
