Rodney Allen Little will forever be remembered through his family and loved ones. I had the honor of learning his love and leadership, professionally, through one of his daughters. Based on her loyalty, kindness, strength, and love... I could only imagine how great a man he had to be. Rodney means breathtaking beaches, gold sand, and crystal clear water. In other words, you were a beautiful experience. Thank you, for instilling those experiences in your loved ones, and know you will rest in peace. Sincerely, C. Hamilton
