Thinking of you!

Another year you’re gone. We are certainly enjoying this new baby boy wishing you could be here with us to see him grow. I’m sure you have already put a few tricks in his ear for him to pull on us. Hopefully he gets your crazy and fun personality, the World needs more carefree people like you in it. I miss you so much, please watch over us ❤️

Fighter

Your missed everyday! There’s not a day that goes by I don’t think of you life certainly is very boring without you wish you were here causing me frustration. By the way Toby never showed up hope you and him are having lots of fun and adventures together. You’re the only Papaw I know to go to the fair and bring a new puppy home for the grandkids. You were an amazing husband, father and Papaw! Love and miss you💔

Kind man

I really enjoyed getting to know your father even when your mom was ill. It was a true pleasure getting to know him outside the hospital . One thing I know is he loved his family . Sending lots of love and hugs to all the family . Beth

Just wanted to say hello!

Dad, Thinking of you today. This will always be one of those days that time stamps life. I know you would be so proud of Prestynn and Pierce. They have quite the personalities, maybe they get that from you. We’re going to try to do something fun today like you would! We love you so much!

Father’s Day

Rod, you always had the ability to put a smile on my face, and I LOVED seeing the relationship between you and Haleigh! It was unlike any other father/daughter friendship I have known. You are so missed and so loved. Looking forward to drinking a beer with you again some day 🍻 -Rachel

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Father’s Day Dad! Thank you for all you have done for me and our family. I love this picture because it brings back so many memories of that night. We laughed and had so much adventure. I karaoked Eminem for you lol. I think you were about 46 years old in this picture. I miss you and all of your crazy ideas sometimes life feels dull without you now. You always had the funniest joke in the room and the room just doesn’t feel the same without you ❤️ I love you
