March 1st 2023, The day I found out you died my heart was torn in two,
one half stayed with me and the other went with you.
The memories will stay, it's all I have.
They will be in my mind and stay the same.
Those are mine to keep and will be replayed every day.
Remembering you is easy, always Grandpa Santa to my boys, always daddy to me.
Missing you is a heartache that'll never go away.
Family and friends, he's in our hearts, forever he will be.
We will all miss you, daddy, Especially me.
~Courtney Thiel

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Rodney. May words of encouragement uplift your spirit at this time. Rodney will be deeply missed by many but will never be forgotten. In the difficult days to come may the many wonderful memories of his life give you comfort. Something we have personally found to be of great comfort are the thoughts expressed in the Bible at John 5:28 “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his (Jesus) voice and come out “. May God Jehovah comfort you as you move forward from this profoundly sad time.
Rodney and I had known each other since we first met in the 4th grade at Peace Lutheran School and we graduated from high school together. He was always a very likable person and I never heard of anyone not liking him. My condolences to his wife and family.
