On Wednesday, June 14th, 2023, Rodney Van Ritenour, father, granddad, and brother passed away peacefully surrounded by family at the age of 56 years old. Rodney was a lifelong Norfolk resident and a staple in the area’s flooring industry for 37 years. He has served the community by taking on various jobs at the local children’s hospital CHKD and their outpatient offices, the local area courthouses, and even the Brock Cancer Center where he spent many days over the last six months battling Acute Myeloid Leukemia.  He was commonly known as the go to guy for the jobs that almost seemed impossible. Rodney was predeceased by his father and mother Herbert and Evelyn Ritenour, brothers Tim and Pete, sisters Judy and Rhonda, and son-in-law Lee. Rodney has gained many friends during his short time here on earth and will forever be remembered by his daughter Judy Shreve, son Zachary (Montana) Cookson, sister Joyce (Joe) Germain, brothers Donald Ritenour and Glen (Stacy) Ritenour, grandchildren Cameron, Christian, Kaylee, Jaden, Milani, and Raeleigh as well as a host of aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews and extended family and dear friends.

In lieu of flowers the family ask that you donate to the Lymphoma and Leukemia society in his honor. Please come as you are and join us in honoring his life and legacy.
