Rodney Hamrick

Rodney Eugene Hamrick, born on November 16, 1977, in Cleveland County, North Carolina, passed away on March 13, 2025, at the age of 47. His sudden departure leaves a profound void in the hearts of his family and friends.

These passions reflected his adventurous spirit and hands-on approach to life.

He is survived by a loving family, including his mother, Linda Peterson Johnson, and her husband Cliff of Shelby; his father, William Hamrick, and his wife Sheri of Taylorsville; his beloved children, son Riley Hamrick and daughter Rose Hamrick, both of Shelby; his sisters, Mandy Johnson and her husband Kevin of Maine, and Kristie Singer and her husband Craig of Denver, NC; his brothers, Chris Hamrick of West Virginia, Brandon Hamrick of Taylorsville, and Jeremy Simmons of Cherryville; and his cherished nephew, Junior Johnson.

A gathering to honor and remember Rodney's life will be held 2pm-3pm, Sunday, March 16, 2025 at Clay-Barnette Funeral Home. The family appreciates the thoughts and prayers of all who knew him during this difficult period.
