He was baptized on June 20, 1937 at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Windom and later confirmed in that same church on May 25, 1952.

Rodney was a lifetime member of the Lutheran Church of our Savior in Windom where he was an usher. He also was on a dart team and was a member of the Cottonwood County Pork Producers.
