Huntsville, TX Wednesday, August 21, 2024 Hearing the news of a fellow classmate's classing always brings a flood of memories. We had a lot of laughs in high school, causing a lot of angst from Ms. Kerr's English class. Watching Rodney ride bulls was another exciting time. When most guys of his stature would've ran from a bull, he was in the chute, on that bull as Rodney wasn't one to let his height keep him back from such an exciting and dangerous sport. I was so sorry to hear of his passing and will be keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers during this time of loss.Larry Smith
