Rodney “Rod” Michael Paul of Brighton, more formerly of Dearborn passed away peacefully, while surrounded by his family on March 21, 2024. He was 67 years old.


He was a cherished member of the community, having grown up and lived in Dearborn for 40 years before moving to Brighton in 2001. Rodney's entrepreneurial spirit led him to start his own carpet cleaning business in 2002, where he undoubtedly left a lasting impact on his clients.


Rodney's dedication extended beyond his professional life as he generously gave his time to coaching hockey teams and mentoring children at the Naz Skatepark for 8 years. His passion for music, particularly rock & roll, brought joy to those around him.
