          The United States Army was home to Rodney in his younger years where he served as E-5 Sergeant, Combat Signaler, within an Air Assault unit. Rodney did an extensive tour in Germany and was awarded with honors including an Air Assault Badge, M-16 Sharpshooter, Expert Marksmanship, and 1^st OLC/Army Commendation Medal.

          When Rodney wasn’t jumping from perfectly good airplanes, he loved anything outdoors. Hunting was a favorite pastime and fishing was at the top of his list. His best days were spent with his boys on the water. He loved spending time with all his family and was proud to see his youngest finish high school this year. As far as Rodney was concerned, “those grandbabies” as he called them, was what he believed to be his most precious gifts in life.
