Rodney Louis Wright (Ron, Ronnie or Saint) transitioned from his labor to be with the Lord on Tuesday, September 28, 2021.

Rodney was born on April 8, 1956 to William and Leola Wright. He loved playing football, baseball, basketball and played the tuba in the marching band. He was a joy to be around!

Known to be a hard worker, Rodney had many professions including being employed at Tidewater Regional Transit (TRT), Norfolk State University and Neighborhood Care.

No one was a stranger to Rodney; his smile and friendly personality sparked new and long-lasting friendships.

Rodney accepted the Lord and was an active member of The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostles Doctrine in Portsmouth, Virginia.
