– Ralph Fredrick Roda, known as “Fred,” passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by family, after a long battle with cancer, on Aug. 18, 2022, at the age of 80. A wonderful husband, dad, grandpa, uncle, cousin, friend, and veteran, serving our country in the Army.

He was proceeded in death by his father Rodger John Roda, mother Adrianne Madeline Poole, stepfather Myrlan Talbot Poole and his brothers Tom and John.
Fred will be remembered for his smile, his silly sayings, and for always prioritizing his family. He will be dearly missed by so many. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Cancer Society.
