Rodd Elliot Roesch, 55, of Tecumseh, Michigan, passed away on July 31, 2025, at the Hospice of Lenawee Home in Adrian, Michigan. A beloved husband, father, son, and brother, Rodd lived a full and vibrant life dedicated to family, community, and curiosity.
Rodd was born on July 8, 1970, in Adrian, MI, the youngest son of Edward and Candy (Spiegel) Roesch. He graduated from Adrian High School in 1988 and from Adrian College in December 1992. Rodd began his professional journey as a DJ for WABJ, later serving as a sales representative for both WABJ and Q95 Country. Over the years, his talents and work ethic led him to roles with Roesch Manufacturing, Sears, and Lowe’s. No matter the job, Rodd brought enthusiasm, integrity, and a deep sense of connection to those around him.
He had a lifelong love of learning and exploring. Rodd enjoyed traveling, delving into his family’s ancestry, and immersing himself in the history of the Civil War. He was especially passionate about volunteering with the Southern Michigan Railroad, where he found great joy in sharing history and trains with others. His fascination with toy trains was a beloved pastime that brought out his playful spirit.
Rodd is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, Carma (VanSickle) Roesch; their children, Max and Raelynn; mother, Candy Roesch; brother, Ross (Kara) Roesch, as well as his father-in-law, Larry VanSickle, brothers and sisters-in-law and many nieces and nephews. Rodd was preceded in death by his father, G. Edward Roesch, and his mother-in-law, Carla VanSickle. He will be remembered for his warmth, curiosity, generous heart, and the joy he brought to every room he entered.
Memorial visitation will take place on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, at Wagley Funeral Home, Adrian from 4-8 p.m. Rodd’s memorial service will be held on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Tecumseh, MI with Pastor Ted Kerr officiating. Family will receive friends from 10 a.m. until the service begins.
In lieu of flowers, Rodd’s wish was that any memorial contributions may be made to the TLC Community Credit Union account set up for his children Max and Raelynn Roesch or to the Southern Michigan Railroad.
