Rodney Alan Lyons, 46, of Rochester, passed away at 3:39 AM on Saturday, January 10, 2015 at Woodlawn Hospital. On July 9, 1968, Rodney was born in Lynnwood, WA to Edward George and Lucille Zuleger Lyons. Growing up he shared his childhood with four sisters and one brother. Rodney was a professional truck driver and often traveled coast to coast. He had a great sense of humor and was known to be quite the prankster. Watching old movies and westerns, especially staring John Wayne, was a favorite pastime. As an armchair quarterback, he cheered on the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame and the Cheeseheads of Green Bay. Logan's Road House was his restaurant of choice, but he also enjoyed meatloaf, pizza, chili and a simple PB&J on toast. Left to cherish Rodney's memory are his son, Edward George Lyons I of Rochester; his mother, Lucille Cooley and husband Shorty of Rochester; four sisters: Diane McClure and husband Daniel of Hampden, ME, Pamela Tape and husband David of Iron River, MI, Karen Pluger and companion Richard of Clintonville, WI, Brenda Higgins and husband Kenneth of Green Bay, WI; a brother, Michael Lyons and companion Kathy of Lake Geneva, WI; three canine companions: Harley, Cuddles, both German Shepherds, and Rocky the Boxer; 15 nieces and nephews: Christopher, Brittany, Mikayla, Robert, Justin, Matthew, Melissa, Paige, Bobbi Jo, Bonnie, William, Whitney, Jeremiah, Megan, Nicholas; and many special friends. Preceding Rodney in death are his father and grandparents. Chaplain Jason See will officiate services.
