It is with deep regret that we announce Rod's passing. Rod loved going to auto races with his son Darin and grandson Reece, who we lost way too soon in 2022 at the age of 21. He also loved dogs, and always had one in the house. Daily walks with his dogs were a favorite for him. He also enjoyed watching sports and racing on TV. Per Rod's wishes there will be no funeral. The immediate family will be partaking in a celebration of life, on or near his birthday.

Rod is survived by Peggy, his wife of 39 years, as well as his daughter Dawn (Chris Hazen), son Darin (Dianne Parker), step-daughter Sherri, step-son Terry (Cindy Woller), and grandchildren Hannah, Holly, Max, Quinn, Matt, Maya, Emily and Curtis.
