The world has lost and heaven has gained a very unique & special individual.
Rodney Paul Carman born on October 24, 1944 passed away on March 29, 2016.
Rodney was a person you would never forget meeting and always with a smile on your face.
Rodney is survived by Judy Carman, his beloved wife of 39 years; his children, Pamela, Wendy, David & his wife Cathy, Robin, Kristi, Tracey & her husband Mike and his brother John JR Rhodes; six grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, a brother & sister, two nieces, a nephew and many close friends.
Rodney served his country with honor in the United States Air Force. After completing his military service, he moved to Daytona Beach Florida and under the guidance of his lifelong friend, Dr. David Holder, he began his professional career as a Radiology Technician at Ormond Beach Memorial Hospital. Rodney possessed an entrepreneurial spirit and went on to start a successful rehabilitation company with his good friend Dave Carn. Their company provided physical and occupational therapy services to patients in long term care facilities.
Rodney thoroughly enjoyed the outdoors and had a lifelong passion for hunting. It can be said that he was his happiest when in the woods! He also generously volunteered his time as an instructor for gun safety classes. It is no secret that Rodney was also a fanatical NASCAR racing fan.
