Rodney Davis Romeo, born February 23, 1966, in South Bend, Indiana, passed away on December 28, 2025. A beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend, Rodney was known for his loving, selfless, and compassionate spirit that touched everyone he met. He was a proud graduate of Adams High School and later served his community as a friendly and dependable Uber driver, connecting with people from all walks of life.
A skilled mechanical worker, Rodney shared a passion for woodworking with his stepfather, helping renovate homes, and was equally talented in the kitchen, famous for his barbecues. He deeply loved his family—especially his nieces and nephews—and was always ready to support those in need. An avid fan of Notre Dame football, the Pittsburgh Steelers, baseball, and wrestling, Rodney also enjoyed music, drumming, and car body work. He was preceded in death by his father, Frank Romeo, and brother, Dominic Romeo. He is survived by his mother, Marlene (Harley) Miller; brothers Rick (Ashley) Romeo and Frank Romeo; and many nieces and nephews. Rodney will be remembered for his generous heart and the lasting impact of his kindness.
