Rodney K. Holloway, a resident of Warsaw for the past 27 years, passed away on Sunday, Nov. 10, 2019, at Visiting Nurse and Hospice Home in Fort Wayne. He was 68 years old.
Rodney, known to some as “K,” was the youngest of 14 children and was the son of Glen and Minnie McClone Holloway. He was born on Feb. 12, 1951, in Rochester, and attended school at Beaver Dam and Akron.
Professionally, Rodney had worked in farming and construction. He worked as a machinist, a heavy equipment operator, a custodian at Burket Elementary School and in production for Midwest Rake. More personally, he was an avid fisherman who could often be found tinkering with his boat or practicing casting in the front yard. He simply loved being on the water and being outdoors. He was an avid Harley-Davidson fan and rode a H-D for many years. He enjoyed old Westerns and WWE wrestling.
On the outside, Rodney was laid back and a little bit stubborn; on the inside he was someone to whom family meant everything. His surviving family includes his wife of 25 years, Beverly Holloway, of Warsaw; two stepsons, Jason (Angie) Elliott, of Warsaw; and Jamie (Lindsay) Elliott, of Warsaw; six grandchildren: Ella, Emily, Addison, Jamisen and Kynzley Elliott, and Kayle Long; a sister, Barb Rudo, of Warsaw; and three brothers: Donnie Holloway, of North Webster; Bernie (Linda) Holloway, of Palestine; and Dean (Sylvia) Holloway, of Rochester.
He was preceded in death by his parents and nine siblings.
A Life Celebration is planned with Titus Funeral Home, 2000 E. Sheridan St., Warsaw. Visitation will be on Friday, Nov. 15 beginning at 3 p.m. At 6 p.m., Certified Funeral Celebrant Sharon Brockhaus will officiate Rodney K’s service in the funeral home.
