RodneyKENYONRod passed away peacefully surrounded by his family at his home on December 29, aged 78.

The devoted and much loved husband of Beverley, loving dad of Sarah, Simon, Sam, Mark, Michael and Jean, a cherished grandad, great-grandad and honorary grandad, loved brother of Linda and late Myra and a dear uncle relative and good friend to many.

Rod, a former president, chairman and lifelong member of Accrington Cricket Club, was a well-known and beloved figure in the cricket community.
He dedicated much of his time and energy to his cherished club, earning the admiration of many.
A passionate football fan, Rod was also a loyal supporter of Accrington Stanley and Manchester City.

Throughout his working life, Rod held various roles, including motor mechanic, cobbler and van driver for multiple companies before his retirement. Known for his generosity and community spirit, he devoted considerable effort to helping others, particularly through fundraising for Children in Need. He organised quiz nights and other events to raise money for the cause, reflecting his selflessness and dedication.

Rod enjoyed holidays across the UK and Bev even managed to persuade him to holiday in Majorca, which he enjoyed. Proud of his Lancastrian heritage, he held a deep affection for his hometown of Accrington. It was a place that always held a special
place in his heart, the place he called home.

Rod’s funeral service will be held at Accrington Crematorium on Thursday, January 16 at 11.40am.

Family flowers only please. Donations are being
gratefully received in Rod’s memory on behalf of Rosemere Cancer Foundation. To make a donation
