His most cherished job was being a Registered Nurse, first at Baxter Regional, then Emergency Room Nurse at Ozark Health, Emergency Room manager at Ozark Health, and Home Health Nurse. He loved every nursing capacity, and his patients. His coworkers were family. He loved helping new nurses get started. He had a healing touch, and a unique ability to give people peace. He loved fishing, hunting and all things guns. He cherished his children and checked on them daily, but his most favorite role ever was being papa Rod. His grandbabies never left his house without at least one Little Debbie Cake or Reese's cup. He loved Jesus, believed He was the son of God, and had accepted Him as Lord and Savior. He loved his Welcome Home Church family. He loved the people of the Yucatan, and getting to combine his love and skill in nursing on medical mission trips.
