Rod passed peacefully on Sunday February 4 at SAH. Dear fourth child of Annie & Jim (deceased '97), Rod was primary caregiver to his parents for their last 20 years. Special brother of Blake (Bunny), Grant (Fern), Gloria, Bill, and sister-in-law Susan Kleiber (Horst). Caring uncle to Lonny, Tammy (Terry), Curtis (Susan), Nichole (Kendall), and Chad. Great-uncle and honorary uncle too many. "Dad" and friend to Chad Laroue. Special friend to Anna Wishnewsky. Rod cared deeply for his many family and friends near and far - all family to him. He expressed his appreciation to Jack McMillan and to Chad Granger and Lonny Granger, who found a way to get him the care he needed. Special thanks to Dr. Chung (whom he adored and trusted) and to the excellent doctors, nurses, and support staff at SAH. Rod loved and is loved in life and in death. He left the world a better place than he found it. Per his wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no service.
