It is with great sadness that our family is announcing that Rod passed away suddenly at home on September 25, 2024, at the age of 67 years. Rod was born in Huntsville on May 22, 1957, and is predeceased by his parents, Dennis and Elizabeth Hutcheson of Huntsville, and sister-in-law, Marion. He will be sadly missed by his sister, Barbara, and his brothers, Richard and Ted ( Laurie). Uncle Rod was loved by Rob (Emily), Lesley, Matthew (Katie), Kate, and his many cousins and friends.
Rod was a man who knew many people and was always outgoing and friendly with everyone. He recently retired to spend his time doing the things he loved. Fishing and hunting were lifelong hobbies. He was a fan of watching curling, baseball, and hockey games each season. He enjoyed talking with people about “everything” that was happening in Huntsville. For many years, he worked at the Tembec flooring plant and recently for Independent Grocer in Huntsville. He was a member of All Saints Anglican Church and went to Sunday services regularly, accompanying his father and his sister over his lifetime.
A memorial service will be held at All Saints Church on October 19th at 2 p.m. Rod had a special love for his pets over his lifetime and would want donations to the Bracebridge SPCA.
