On June 18, 2022, God called Mr. Roderick Demond Douglas home to eternal rest. Roderick was born August 20, 2004 to the parentage of Yolanda R. Douglas, Craig D. Carpenter and Eugene Spearman. Roderick was a member of Bread of Life Missionary Baptist Church. He graduated the DISD and Irving ISD. Roderick had a passion for football and Basketball from an early age. Roderick was a loving Care Bear. If you were hurt, sad or just needed to talk, he was always one you could count on. I never knew a seventeen year old who would give advice to the young or old. Like the old folks say, “He never met a stranger”. Roderick also had a love for music of any kind. Rap, R&B, Gospel or Old School was nothing for him to pick up on. He had an amazing voice and loved singing in the shower. While in Kindergarten his teacher called me and asked how was it that a five year old knew every word of Frankie Beverly and Maze. He would always tell me that if he didn't get a career in a career in football that he wanted to mentor and be a counselor for young kids. He was preceded in death by his grandmother, Carolyn J. Douglas, grandfather, Carl W. Douglas, Sr., uncle Carl W. Douglas, Jr., and his brother, Carl D. Carpenter. He leaves to cherish his memory: his mother, Yolanda, fathers; Craig and Eugene. He also leaves his first love, Jordae Alexander, his aunt, LuKesha Brown, his great uncle, who shares his name, Roderick L. Jackson (Anna Jackson), his great - aunt, Shirley Jackson, his sister, Crystal Dickey of Dallas, TX., brothers; Demeatrick Dickey, Craig Dickey, DeMarcus Dickey, Demond Dickey and Draylon Martin, all of Dallas, TX., and a host of uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews and friends

Trust in the LORDwith all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5 - 6
