We feel blessed to have known such a wonderful, happy, person. Kim and I will miss his laugh, his smile, and all the good times we had together. Love you Sally

Sally, Casey and Lauren,

There are no words to express our condolences, we simply send our love.

Al has fond memories of snow golf and other fun times with Rod and the ‘iron ring’ gang at U of S.

Oh Sally, Lauren & Casey, I am so very very sorry for your loss. My heart and prayers go out to you. I hope it comforts you to know that you were the absolute love and light of Rod’s life; and that your many happy memories will sustain you through this difficult period ahead. I think this sort of loss is perhaps the most difficult to bear. I think 6 weeks and 6 months are hard anniversaries, and of course all the family special days have a conspicuous absence. They same Time helps. I think for the first year everything is new and then there is the realization of “oh, this is how it will be now.” He will live in your hearts and minds always, but somehow we learn how to keep going. I send you big big hugs. Be kind to yourselves and each other. And of course if you’re in Saskatoon please call, and we have a guest room.

Love Always

June, Kevin, & Sarah

Sally, Casey and Lauren,

My deepest condolences to you and all of your family My prayers are with you in these time of sadness. Rod was my friend for many years working in the industry. He was my running partner for the last 2 years, with flashlights strapped to our heads we ran every Monday wed and Fridays regardless of weather conditions, minus 20 or plus 20 I could always count on him to be there at 6:10 AM. I will cherish many memories of the time I shared with him. I can never understand why God picks the best flowers in the field first. He will truly be missed by all.

I was a co-worker with Rod for a number of years over at Canadian Hunter and again over at Canadian Fracmaster. A fun guy to be around, always with that infectious smile and positive atitude.

Very sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to Sally and the girls.

Sally and Family

We are so very sorry to hear the sad news about Rod. We will miss seeing him in the neighborhood. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Our deepest sympathies. Val & Thom Young & Family

Sally, I heard the news today from Patsy and Colin and I cannot tell you how shocked and sad I am for your loss. I have such fond memories of you all, and what a wonderful family you are. Rod was such a larger than life character…heaven is a lucky place to have him now. I pray that you and the girls find the strength to get through this sad time and that you find comfort in all your memories of such a wonderful man.

God Bless.

Louise

Lauren, Casey and the Muth family.

Words cannot express how saddened we are to hear of your loss. Please know you have support for whatever you need.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Please know that our hearts and thoughts are with you. We would be honored to reconnect anytime. We are just a phone call away.

With sincere sympathy,

Ross, Joan, Allison and Kendra

So shocked and saddened to hear of Rod’s passing. He was a good friend and was always positive and supportive.

I will think of him fondly wearing his “Tyee” pin while salmon fishing with us in the Queen Charlotte Islands.

I was so surprised to see Rod’s obituary in the paper today. I am so sorry to hear of your loss Sally. We are sad and thinking of you and your girls and hope time and your memories will comfort you in the days to come. Oakridge has lost a wonderful husband and father!

We were so sorry to hear of your loss, Sally. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and with Lauren and Casey.

Sally,

Words cannot express what you are going through – it still feels like a dream and not reality. I know you are reliving every last few moments remembering conversations and asking yourself why?

When I lost Lou, I felt the same thing. Like your world has just fallen apart and you feel so lost not knowing what to do next or where to turn. You feel like you are just existing but without a purpose. Life is a gift yet we take it for granted until something like this happens to make us realize all the small things we worried about – means nothing now. Cherish your last memories of the vacation you had together. Don’t have any regrets – it was meant to be and nothing you could have done would have saved him. Be strong for the girls – they will be watching you to see how you hold up through this sad time. Sally – keep busy afterwards. Don’t sit at home – the sooner you can get back into a routine and live, the better for you and everyone around you. Life will never be the same but it doesn’t mean that it has to end for you. We know we have been through it.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Maria, Jade and Brandon.

If you ever need someone to talk to please do not hesitate to call or email me.

We were shocked and saddened to hear of Rod’s passing. Our deepest condolences to Sally, Lauren, Casey and the rest of the Muth family. We have many fond memories of Rod and the great times he and Rob shared, skiing, fishing, and other activities, all of which Rod bested him at (according to Rod!!!). As always in our busy lives, we find ourselves saying: “I wish we had spent more time together”. He will be deeply missed.

Sally…. We are so saddenned… We feel your pain…. Sometimes it doesnt seem fair.

Rod was such a special person, so full of passion for everything we did together, partying with the “boys from “Lloyd”, making wine, making his special Lasagna, playing squash, golfing, talking about our kids, sand concentrations and fracing, to name only a few. I regret having lost touch with Rod in recent years as he was one of my most admired friends.

We feel so fortunate to have known him, and will continue to think of him often.

Love and support

Kevin and Cheryl

Sally, Casey and Lauren,

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope you and your family can find comfort in the memories of your life with Rod. My thoughts and wishes are with you.

Theresa Roberts

Heart felt sympathies to Sally and the kids I am glad now that I managed to get over for the wedding and met up with Rod again.

To Sally, Casey, and Lauren:

Rod was an absolute gentleman to us at MRL Integrated Solutions Ltd. He supported our little company working for Calfrac when we began and was so encouraging to us at all times as we got started in what has become a 6 year working relationship. Rod made doing business fun and light hearted. Every time I saw Rod he was one of those people who just made you immediately smile before a word was said or a handshake took place. I believe in my heart Rod has truly left the world a better place.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and we hope time will some how bring relief from the grief of your loss and the fond memories of Rod will shine through and bring joy to you for the rest of your days.

Sally, Casey and Lauren.

I am heartbroken for the three of you and your loss. Sally, we had so much fun with the two of you at Tom and Laurel’s wedding, it’s so hard to believe the change in a few short weeks. We just never know where our paths will take us. Know you are in our prayers and thoughts. He will be truly missed! Hope they have a great Casino in Heaven as well!

Laurie & Bo

To sweet Lauren and family,

We wish that we could lift the sorrow from you, but instead we can only lift you up in prayer, love and in deep friendship. We never got to meet your dad Lauren, but in knowing you, we know he was a man of quality. You are in our thoughts, our prayers and our hearts. If there is anything you and your family need please do not hesitate to call on us…we love you and know your heart is broken. Hugs for you , your mom and your sister. luv, Sharyl and Hyggens, Ben and Adam

Sally and family,

My sincere thoughts are with you, and your family, at this difficult time. Rod and I worked hard, and played hard during our times at Nowsco, and they are good times that I’ll never forget. Over the more recent years, Rod always had time to stop for a good BS session, reminiscing about the good old days, and keeping me abreast of how his family was doing….a great man who will be missed by many!
