We lost one of the old school guys - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Very sorry for your loss, I drive by that area near the 14 fwy on my commute to work every day. May Rod rest in peace and my prayers will be with his family and friends.

That's sad to hear...hope they catch that scumbag! RIP.

just so sad, truly genuinely nice guy taken too soon.

That's horrible. Condolences to all who's cared about him. I used to be an avid road cyclist but quit after it got too dangerous with the advent of cellphones. Mountain biking is much safer these days. Very sad.

How tragic, RIP, deepest sympathies to Val, and family...

My fishing pals and I, who have been referred to as “Old Salts”, have known Rod and Val for nearly 15 years. In all those years we’ve never known a nicer person, on and off the water, his passing is a huge loss.
Our deepest sympathies to Val and Rod’s family and friends.

Rod was the first kayaker I met on the water many moons ago. Such a genuine guy. We shared many stories of cycling, teaching and fishing. RIP

Well said Ed, I am one of the "Old Salts" you speak of. You first introduced me to Rod and Val at the launch years ago and we had many conversations with them through the years. So very saddened by this. My heart and my deepest condolences go out to you Val.
