will be held at a later date. Rod loved the simple things in life and never complained about anything, even the pain he dealt with daily for the past few years. He was a genuinely compassionate person who would help anyone in need. A hero to many and loved by all who knew him. Memorials may be gifted in Rod's name to the Wounded Warrior Project at http://www.woundedwarriorproject.com. Our family would like to thank Agrace HospiceCare for everything that they did for us and for Rod during the last few weeks of his life, especially Cristina who was his primary nurse. Without their help his transition into the afterlife would not have been as comfortable for him. Stand down Marine, at ease, we got this. Love you more!
