Mr. Rodney Hummel

April 12, 1963 - March 15, 2018

Rodney “Rod” Hummel of Greenfield, MO unexpectedly passed away due to a motor vehicle accident in Girard, KS on Thursday, March 15th, 2018. Born April 12, 1963 in Cabool, MO to Bobby Joe and Betty Sue (Lawson) Hummel, he was 54 years old. Rod has held many jobs since high school; however, he was most recently self employed repairing pallets for about the last 15 years. Outside of work, he had many enjoyments in life. He especially loved just being outdoors where he could deer hunt, fish, and go camping and cook outdoors. However, he mostly loved spending time with his family, playing with his grandkids, and loving his “little” dogs. He will be greatly missed by his family and those who knew him. Rod is preceded in death by his youngest son, Randy Hummel. He is survived by his parents, Bob and Betty Hummel of Willow Springs; two sons, Preston Hummel and his wife, Kristen of Mulberry, KS and Justin Hummel and his wife, Amy of St. Paul, KS. He is further survived by his sister, Carla Tryon and her husband Denny of West Plains. Also surviving are his five grandchildren: Mark, Kenzie, Kolton, Jace, and Sadie Hummel as well as numerous aunts, uncles, nephews, cousins, and friends. A memorial service for Rodney will be held Friday, March 23rd, 2018 at 2:00pm at the Willow Funeral Home with Pastor Joel Hinds officiating. Arrangements are under the direction of Willow Funeral Home. On-line condolences may be left at www.willowspringsfuneralhome.com
