Rodney “Hot Rod” Belly was born in Loon Lake, Saskatchewan on August 26, 1950. He passed away peacefully in Elk Point Health Centre, Saturday, July 3, 2021 at the age of 70 years. Rodney will be remembered for being a jokester . . . always humouring, always laughing. Rodney was a hard-working individual, working for local farmers. He was always readily available for any task. He was a true humble and respectful man; one of his greatest strengths was simply being kind. He participated in Cultural events, and involved himself with Sweatlodges and Sundances he truly believed in.
Rodney developed into a great story-teller, and you could sit alongside him for hours listening to his stories that were passed on by parents, by respected elders, by siblings, by relatives, and by friends. He was a true caretaker by nature, always nurturing Mother Earth, and following his parents’ teachings.
Rodney loved his sport of handgames. He’d travel near and far to wherever the tournament called. He converted his van into his personal hotel retreat at most times. He had to save enough money for entry fees!
Rodney will be remembered by his forever friend, Margaret Halkett of 22 years; his surviving siblings, Angeline (William), Rose Irene, Pauline (Ken), Hubert (Eva), Percy, Annabelle (Roland), Lavern (Donette), Lorin (Kim), George C., Georgina, Jean, Ron, Lesley & Shirley; numerous nieces & nephews; many friends, sisters & brothers by choice. He was predeceased by his parents, Philomene Faithful, George Faithful & Lawrence Alexander; siblings, Calvin Alexander, Viola Faithful, Clara Chief & Gail Faithful. A Wake will be held on Wednesday, July 7 at Norman C. Quinney Careers Centre, Frog Lake. (Procession leaving Grace Gardens at 1:00 p.m.) A Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, July 8 at 11:00 a.m. at Norman C. Quinney Careers Centre, Frog Lake.
