Rodney McCoy Privette, Sr., 67, Rolesville Fire Chief, devoted community servant, and beloved father and grandfather, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Wednesday, August 17th.
Born and raised in Rolesville, Rodney leaves behind a legacy of steadfast service to his community. Along with his sister Teresa, he owned Privette Insurance Agency, which has served Rolesville since it was established in 1962 by his parents, June and Mary Frances Privette. He became a volunteer member of the Rolesville Fire Department in 1975, and has served as chief since 1992.
Rodney was a key leader in the Rolesville community.
Despite the countless roles Rodney filled in his community, he was most fiercely devoted to his role as father and grandfather. There was nothing he wouldn’t do for his family, and his almost daily calls to check in and chat with his children will be greatly missed and cherished for a lifetime.
Rodney is preceded in death by his parents, June McCoy and Mary Frances Privette, both of Rolesville. He leaves behind his children, Coy Privette and wife Niki, Brandi Privette, Mary Privette and Will Privette; three grandsons, Hunter, Carson, and Andrew Privette; three siblings, Debra Poole and husband Grady, Al Privette and wife Bobbie, and Teresa Mobley and husband Kris, along with 6 nieces and nephews; and fiancé Susan Cashion and her family.
Our family invites you to join us in honoring Rodney’s life and legacy at a church service at 3pm on Sunday, August 21st at Rolesville Baptist Church, 203 E. Young Street, Rolesville, NC 27571.
