Mr. Blair, age 71 of Deville, La., entered eternal rest on Thursday, October 27, 2025 at Oak Haven Nursing Home, Centerpoint surrounded by his loving family.

Rodney was a man of many words and he knew no stranger. He loved his two daughters and grandchildren very much. Rodney was a dad to more than his two daughters. He had many kids through the years that he loved dearly and loved to have them help him work. His compassion for others had no bounds. Rodney couldn’t have a bad day if it was spent on any tractor or piece of equipment. He served honorably in the Louisiana National Guard for four years. He spent most of his life working as a heavy equipment operator, building fence, cutting firewood and sitting on a tractor. He loved to sit around and swap stories with the ole timers.

Mr. Blair is survived by his daughters, Heather Lee Blair and Mildred “Minnie” Angelina Blair Elliott. His grandchildren, Kathryn Lee Blair and Joel Patrick Elliott. His siblings, Joseph Roberts and Barbara Blair Parker. Step daughters, Kaitlynne Hamm and Miranda Metoyer and a host of nieces and nephews.
The family would like to thank all of Rodney’s friends for their love and prayers, The Cancer Center at DCH, Tuscaloosa, Alabama and the staff of Oak Haven Nursing Home.

Pallbearers honored to serve will be; Dale Roberts, Michael Davis, James Henry, Alvin Gaspard, Steven Lachney and Brad Thornton.
