He was born in centralia wa to Raymond Leonard and Katherine they were very happy!! He was a very happy content little boy!! He liked to tinker with everything tear stuff apart and put it back together!! He went to rochester elementary and attended rochester middle school and then went on to rochester high which he graduated!! During his high school years he participated in wrestling and was a quarter back in football!! Anyone who knew him loved him they were always fascinated with his drawings and especially his infectious smile!! When he walked in the room he would light it up!! I met him the first time at ocean shores as little kids we played on the beach also went out to dinner!! Then we lost touch during his middle and high school years!! We met up again in 1998 and we started dating and moved in with eachother and shortly after we found out I was pregnant with our beautiful baby girl which he named her Dekota Lacey Collinsworth!! He was the apple of her eye and she was the apple of his eye!! One of the things I loved about "hotrod" was he accepted my daughter Hailey Michelle Beckett as his own daughter!! We had our ups and downs but on a good note but a sad one I got pregnant in 2007 sadly she was born sleeping but she's our angel now and she gets too be with her daddy!! Mackenzie Ameeron is the name he gave our babygirl who unfortunately God had other plans for her ! I will always remember rodney for his smile, his laughter, his kind heart always willing too help anyone that needed it!! He would literally give his shirt off his back to a stranger!! All I can say about Rodney is he's gone but never forgotten!!! We love and miss you lots and someday we will see eachother again!!!
