Mayor LaToya Cantrell
We are saddened today by news of the passing of Duplain ‘Pete’ Rhodes III, one of the driving forces of D.W. Rhodes Funeral Home. Pete was, as his father and grandfather before him, a dedicated and compassionate ‘last responder,’ providing the loving care and respect needed to help a family in the transition of a loved one to their final resting place. Like his siblings, Pete never shied away from the family legacy, once saying with a grin, ‘We were told we had no choice.’ We pray for his own loving transition in the same way he helped so many others.
May he rest in God’s perfect peace.
