Rodney was an avid racing fan and his vehicles reflected his love for #3. Throughout his struggles, he was faithfully attended to by his adoring mother, Gladys. His father, Robert, encouraged him to live a full and active life. Rodney was predeceased by his Mother Gladys who was his number one fan and a dear older brother, Robert P. Brantley.
