Rodney A. St. Louis

Rodney A. St. Louis, age 80, of Lincoln Park, passed away on September 18, 2026.

Born November 10, 1945, in Detroit, Rodney was the son of Arthur and Viola (Aronson) St. Louis. He lived a life marked by service, steady work, and lasting connections to the people, communities, and organizations that were important to him.

Rodney proudly served his country as a United States Navy veteran, a commitment that reflected his strength, dedication, and sense of service. On May 17, 1974, he married the love of his life, Shirley Jean Miller. Sadly, Shirley preceded him in death on January 15, 2019.

During his working years, Rodney was a conductor for Norfolk Southern Railroad, where his reliability and dedication were reflected in the quiet importance of a job done well.

Beyond his work and military service, Rodney found fellowship and camaraderie through the Southwest Athletic Club, as well as the American Legion and the VFW. These organizations became part of the fabric of his life and reflected the value he placed on friendship, shared experiences, and belonging. Rodney also had a wonderful sense of humor and was known for being genuinely funny. He had a way of making people laugh, whether through a good joke, a quick comment, or simply his own unique personality. Those who knew him will remember not only the things he accomplished, but also the laughter and good times he brought into their lives.

Rodney’s memory will be carried forward by those who loved him most. He is survived by his son, Ed Green, and his daughter, Stacey (Mark) Hudson; five grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren. Each will carry a part of his legacy forward and hold his memory in their hearts.

In addition to his parents, Rodney was preceded in death by his sister, Arlene Macek, and his daughter, Cheri Lynn Wilson.

May his family and friends find comfort in the memories they shared with Rodney, the laughter he brought into their lives, and the lasting place he holds in their hearts
