Rodney Wayne Wallace

Rodney Wayne Wallace, 67, of Roanoke, VA passed away August 8, 2021.
In his younger days, Rodney enjoyed tennis and aerobics classes at New Fitness and the YMCA where he
could always be counted on to be very vocal and energize the class. He was very active in his church and
the Cursillo/Pilgrimage community and was a dedicated blood donor. Some of the family’s fondest
memories include ski trips where he never feared hitting the black diamond slopes with his son Tim and
the annual beach trip to the Outer Banks which was always full of boogie boarding, body surfing, and
sand dune climbing fun. Later in life, he participated in athletic events such as the Smith Mountain Lake
Triathlon and volunteered at events supporting the Grandin area. In recent years, he loved nothing more
than a bowl of ice cream and a good game of Uno.
Rodney was preceded in death by his parents, Carl and Elizabeth Wallace, and his brothers, Carl Wallace
and Joe Wallace. He will always be loved and remembered by those surviving him, his children and their
spouses, Angela & Jamie Holmes and Tim Wallace & Nikki Dean, his grandchildren, Emma & Kenna
Holmes and Liam Wallace, and his ex-wife and friend, Sherrie Wallace.
