Rodney (Steve) had the biggest heart & always wanted to help others. He was able to work in the medical field doing exactly that. He had wonderful stories of his physical therapy patients and his co-workers over the years. He loved the outdoors and the beauty of flowers & nature. He particularly loved painting & giving his paintings to special friends and family. He especially loved his homelife, his family and friends, and his precious Pomeranian, Miss Abby.
The family would like to thank all of the Doctors and special nurses who worked so closely with him during his long medical journey. Our family takes comfort in knowing he is at peace and we will see him again.
