Mr. Rodney L. Crispen, 63, of Macy (Nyona Lake), was surrounded by his loving family when he passed away on the Sunday afternoon, August 24, 2025. This followed a brave and valiant battle with cancer.
On October 17, 1961, Rodney Leroy was born in Rochester to Frederick Dean and Ramona Mae Phillips Crispen. Growing up he shared his childhood with two sisters and two brothers. In 1980 Rod graduated from Caston High School. During his high school years, he was a member of the Comets track team.
Gifted with his hands, Rod was a talented autobody repairman. He worked at Hammel Body Shop, Rochester and Tim's Body Shop in Akron. He later worked in Argos for Lobdell - Emery.
At the Parkside Community Church, in Argos, Rod was baptized on Easter Sunday in 2024 with Bradley, Paige and their family. He was a member of the Nyona - South Mud Lake Booster Club. With a passion of the outdoors, Rod was so at home hunting deer and mushrooms. He loved standing on the Nyona Lake bridge, wetting his line and catching the limit. With great pride he cleaned the fish, fixed some sides and invited his family and special friends over for a fish fry feast!
Rod is lovingly remembered by his 3 children: Bradley Morgan Crispen (Paige) of Argos, Jennifer Mae Culp (Rusty) of Culver, Karis Nicole Olson of Rochester, companion Cheryl Wallace, two sisters Louise Kaiser (Bill), Judy Jones all of Macy; a brother Michael Crispen of Macy; the mother of his children Regina L. Morgan McQueary and 12 grandchildren Jayden, Kimberly, Dakota, Delilah, Bently, Cameron, Ethan, Brayden, Johnny, Jessica, Christian and Allison and 1 great-grandson Kaspian, and his treasured canine companion Biscuit the white Chihuahua.
Preceding Rod in death are his parents Fred and Ramona Crispen and a brother Steven D. Crispen.
