A brief encounter is all it took to leave a lasting impression of such a kind, generous, and gentle man. My thoughts and prayers go out to Rodney’s family and friends, especially my dear Isabella.

Rodney was one of my favorite people as well as being one of my favorite clients. No matter the situation, he always had a positive outlook on things. I will miss you Mr. Hilson.

Rodney was a Prince among men. He will be sorely missed. Especially his smile and willingness to do what ever he could to help another person.
