     Rod attended Washington Park High School and later started his career as a mechanic.

He also had a great love for the outdoors and was an avid hunter, spending a lot of his time out in the woods or in his tree stand. Most important to him though, was his family. 

     He married his wife, Tracy, in 2011, and they moved to Black River Falls in 2013, where they built their life together. He loved having the kids and grandchildren up to visit and was so excited for them to grow up so he could get them out in the woods hunting with him. Rod was such a kind, caring person, always willing to lend a helping hand or offer up his knowledge. He will be missed tremendously by all who knew him.
