Mr. Rodney "Bubba" Edwards
May 29, 1965 – September 22, 2025
(We lay peacefully to rest) Rodney Vincent Edwards (Bubba), who was born to Cora Mae Edwards on May 29, 1965…Rodney gave his life to Christ at an early age and always kept his trust in God until the end….To know him was to love him…..He loved Alabama football and his “kids” all of his nieces and nephews.
His passion from childhood was mechanical work where he would fix everything he saw…He was employed many years at Earthgrains until he was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes…Until the end he expressed his love and gratitude to all of his family plus amazing friends he made over the years…He fought a good fight and will deeply be missed by all those that love him.
Also a special Thank You to Collinsville Healthcare and Rehab, Gadsden Regional, and Fresenius Kidney Care Center of Fort Payne for their special care that they delivered.
