Rodney Allen Budreau, of Spruce, passed away Jan. 28, 2024, at MidMichigan Regional Hospital. He had fought a rare illness for many years, but his earthly body just couldn't hold on any longer.
Rod was born March 26, 1957, to Bud and Virginia Budreau of Lincoln. He was the fourth of six children and the tallest at 6'6". After graduating from Alcona High School, he was employed by D&M Railroad, the Pat Reames Masonry, then Drywall Plus. He loved fishing, hunting, gardening, woodworking, and sports activities.
He is survived by four brothers, John (Esther) of Lincoln, Dennis of Hawaii, Perry (Ava) of Lincoln, Michael (Sharone) of Alpena, and his sister Sandra Rockett of Barton City, seven grandchildren, many nieces and nephews, and his longtime companion, Peggy Compton.
He was preceded in death by his parents and Cheyenne Smith.
Per his wishes, Rod will be cremated, and a memorial service will be held in the spring. Arrangements were made through Gillies Funeral Home, Lincoln.
