Roderick attended school in Red Lake, MN, and Wahpeton, ND, later receiving his GED, and then attended MN Tech-auto and Red Lake Nation Tribal College. “Sauce” was the life of the party. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends, and everyone enjoyed spending time with him. He liked to cook, clean, play cribbage and drink Budweiser. He enjoyed going to concerts, listening to rock and roll music, telling crazy stories about his lost loved ones and old friends. He was an amazing father to his own children and some nieces and nephews he helped raise. He was a proud father, brother, uncle, and friend. He would help anyone anytime he could, even if he only had a couple of dollars in his pocket, he would give you what money could not buy, HIS TIME. He enjoyed carpentry work, building and fixing things, a true jack of all trades.
Those Roderick joins in the spirit world are his parents, Roberta and Clem McKenzie; grandparents; sister, Marilyn Beaulieu; brother, William “Nick” McKenzie; nieces, Brittany Cobenais, and April King; nephews, Robert Beaulieu and Royal King.
