Condolences for RODNEY M BRANT
I was saddened to read of Rodney’s death. He was a student in my very first third grade class in Fairbank. He was a very special young man and left a lasting impression on my personal and professional life. Rodney was a sweet spirited boy who enjoyed a good laugh when things were funny to him. He also was a hard worker and persevered even when his schoolwork was a challenge for him. As a young teacher just out of college, he helped me to see the specialness in all of my students which has carried on through my years of teaching. I trust that he carried those fine qualities into his adult life as well.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of loss. May God bless you with comfort.

I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Rodney.
We didn’t find out in time for the funeral.
I am very sorry for all the losses your family has been through
before and since Mike’s passing.
Our hearts go out to you.
May God wrap His loving arms around all of you & give you peace.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
