Mrs. Eddins,Words simply cannot convey my deepest sympathy. With the loss of my husband in the same sudden fashion, 11 months ago–I literally feel your pain! Because I can attest to what you are feeling, I want to encourage you and your family to know that GOD will HOLD you through this unimaginable time. Please remember, God loves YOU and your family and for HIM to call your husband home, and not matter how it feels, it’s for the GOOD! I know you don’t see nor understand it, but TRUST HIM! Find the blessing in your pain, I promise you God will give you JOY for your mourning. One last thing, Your husband (Rocko as my husband called him) is at peace and BACK IN THE ARMS OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER! Hold on to God, HE will rock you at night, wipe your tears, strengthen you and your family. To God be the Glory in the midst of Your pain! YOU will make it through this! Pamela Pryor

Lt. Rodney Rocko Eddins, “How do I say goodbye…the good times outweigh the bad”, This song comes to mind since I heard of your passing. It is so hard to say goodbye to those we grew up with. My prayers and condolences go to your family at this time of sorrow. The Mitchell High Class of ’77 has lost one of its own. You will be missed.
On behalf of the Société de Police – IPD Adam & Edward of Indianapolis, Indiana USA, our condolences to the family, fellows and friends of Rodney K. Eddins, Lt/Memphis Fire Department (Dec).To the family we offer the following thought: Being in another City, we did not know Rodney personally. However, we with honor acknowledge we are not only our brother’s keeper; in countless large and small ways, we are our brother’s maker. Those of us fellows who answered the call throughout history and inspired those who followed, as Rodney followed and lead. Our service in public safety is something that we will not let go as it will not let us go until called home. We salute our fellow brother and pray he now travels forward into eternal rest.
May GOD continue to Bless,comfort and strenghten you’all.Lt. Benson
