Rodney was born at Cox in Springfield, Missouri, and attended Bolivar school, and later cosmetology school, where he graduated with a hairdresser license. He grew up in Bolivar and later moved to Springfield, where he raised his son.
Rodney was a phenomenal hairdresser and spent nearly 30 years building and maintaining a successful salon. He was a man of great wit, humor, and charm, known for being able to brighten anyone’s day. His customers, friends, and family loved him for who he was. He was a great friend and listener, with a generous spirit. He was also a great cook.

Rodney had a deep love for children, both his own and all others. He always made everyone around him feel included, respected, and valued.
