Rodney was born to the parents of Rose and Henry McGoey, Jr. on January 24th, 1959, in New Orleans, La.

Rodney passed away with family by his side. Following a lengthy battle with cancer. He will be lovingly remembered by so many and forever be missed by his children and grandchildren.

He is survived by his brother, Henry McGoey III; sons, Rodney McGoey Jr (Jennie McGoey), Shane McGoey, Randy Bourg (Scott Bourg); daughter, Taylor Bourg; grandchildren, Rodney McGoey III, Mindy Smith, Hailey Harris, Chelsie Trahan, Jacelynn Gaither, Jantson Gaither, Shane Jr, Keegan McGoey and BritLyn McGoey; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews. He will mostly be missed by his lifelong friend, Mitzi Geerken.

Rodney “Big Goo” was the life of the party with such a big heart. He had such a fun spirit; you were guaranteed to laugh in his presence. He could put a smile on any face and never met a stranger. Laughing and loving was a way of life for him. Always there to pick you up when you were down. He was truly one of a kind and will be dearly missed but never forgotten.

A memorial celebration of life will be held on September 25th, at 2pm at Bayou Phillips Community Center, 9155 Harbor Drive, Bay at Louis, MS.
