Rodney Crosby

Rodney Scott Crosby, age 55, of Birmingham, Alabama passed away on Tuesday, December 3, 2019 under the care of hospice.  

Rod was born in Charleston, South Carolina and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina as well as Birmingham, Alabama.  As a young man, Rod had a passion for motorcycle racing and pursued his dream with his own intensity and competitiveness.  While racing professionally, he suffered a traumatic brain injury that left him wheelchair bound.

Rod had the ability to draw friends and family into his life with his smile, his stories and his genuine love of their company.  He also gave those who knew him well the gift of true compassion.  The commitment of those who loved and cared for him over the past thirty-six years, led by his mother Ginger (deceased), his nurse, Harvis Harper and his father, Dennis was relentless and limitless.

Rod is survived by his father, Dennis Crosby; brothers Dennis, Jr. (Kim) and Kevin; niece and nephews Tyler, Adam, Clay, Tore and Ginger.
