Rod married Sandra Hoefner on May 19, 1968 at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Hooper.
Rod loved his family so much and looked forward to family get togethers, especially at their home. He loved the grandkids and the appearance of a grandson in the family made him so proud. He looked forward to seeing them so much. He loved his home and his German Shepherd Dog, Buster. He put a lot of work and effort into planting trees, another love.
