Robert Hatton Gene Rhodd's Obituary
ROBERT HATTON GENE RHODD, 61, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, passed away unexpectedly in the afternoon of Sunday, October 21st, 2018, at UC Health Memorial Central Hospital.
Robert was born on July 18, 1957, in Winfield, Kansas. He was the son of the late Max and Vivian Rhodd.
He graduated from Winfield High School in 1975.
Robert was united in marriage to Karen Jean Potter of Winfield, Kansas, on July 2nd, 1976. Robert attended Wichita Area Practical Nursing School and graduated in 1980 with his mother Vivian. He began his nursing career as an LPN at Good Samaritan Nursing Home in Winfield. Robert continued to pursue his Bachelors' degree while working for William Newton Hospital. He earned his degree and graduated alongside his brother Lance Rhodd in 1995. Robert made many friends while working at hospitals, prisons, as an Ombudsman for the State of Kansas, and as a home health caregiver. Robert and his family moved to Meriden, Kansas, in 1999. Robert retired in 2010. Following his retirement, he and his wife Karen moved to Colorado Springs in 2016.
Robert was a lifelong member of the First Church of the Nazarene. He was also a proud tribal member of both Citizen Potawatomi Nation of Shawnee, Oklahoma, and the Cherokee Nation of Tahlequah, Oklahoma. He enjoyed spending time with his family, particularly his grandsons, his friends, listening to audio-books or music, and watching Fox News. One of Robert's favorite things to do was to road trip with Karen regardless of which direction they were heading. He loved seeing new places and doing new things. He was always very thankful to never miss "The Dance".
His family includes:
His wife Karen of 42 years; his daughter Erica Vlahavas, husband Sam, and grandson Constantin of Colorado Springs; his son Colby Rhodd, wife Jacquie, and grandchildren Max, Natalie, Jacob, and Kellen of Keokuk, Iowa; his son Timothy of Meriden, Kansas, with grand-dog Nala.
His sister Ronda Thomas and husband Jim; his sister Michele Sweeney and husband Mike; his brother Lance Rhodd and wife Ashley.
He loved his many nieces and nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles.
