Rodney Delane Caston entered this world on October 7, 1957, to the proud parents Charlie Caston, Sr and Fannie Bell Caston. Raised in a Christian home, Rodney confessed and accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior at an early age and was baptized at Black’s Chapel Baptist Church, Jackson, MS. Later in life, he began attending College Hill Baptist Church with his family. Rodney faithfully supported the church and church activities for more than 30 years.

Rodney was born in Jackson, MS and was educated in the Jackson Public School System. He graduated from Wingfield High where he was a star basketball player. Upon graduation, Rodney joined the Armed Forces. During his time in the Army, he excelled as a Field Operations Sharpshooter Specialist, and as a U.S. Army basketball player. Rodney returned from serving his country to serving his community and graduated with an Associate’s Degree in Industrial Welding from Hinds Community College. He retired in January 2020 from United Parcel Service (UPS) and was recognized and celebrated as a safe driver during his 40 years of service.

Rodney married the Love of life, Edna and together, they brought forth the apple of his eye, Donovan. They were married for 37 years. During those years, he loved all professional sporting events and eating out, traveling and being at home. He was a great cook, and he enjoyed his wife’s cooking. Every day he planned each meal in advance. At night before going to bed, he would say, “be thinking about breakfast,” and at breakfast, “be thinking about lunch,” and you guessed it, at lunch, “be thinking about dinner.” He absolutely loved food and eating, even the pandemic didn’t slow his appetite down.

On Tuesday, April 26,2022, the Lord our God sent His angels to bring one of his servant’s home to reward him with peace and fulfillment of the eternal rest reserved for those that belong to him. No words can describe his absence, but we know he will always watch over and be with us. Preceding his deliverance from this earthly life is his father, Charlie Caston, Sr., his mother, Fannie Bell Caston, and his brother Charlie Caston, Jr.

Rodney is celebrated by his loving wife, Edna J. Caston; son, Donovan Caston and grandson Brenan Caston. Sisters: Margaree Barnes, Linda Diane Williams, Charlie Mae Bass, and Constance (Mike)Ross all of Jackson, MS. Brothers: Alvin Glen Caston and Darryl (Barbara) Caston of Jackson, MS. Dearly loved by all of his nieces and nephews(he was the favorite uncle and he loved being their uncle). His many cousins cherished their time with him as well. A host of Family, Friends, Co-workers, and all he met, celebrate with his family a memorable life.
