Rodney Novan Lyons

Rodney Novan Lyons

May 20, 1998 – July 23, 2021

Rodney Lyons, the younger yet taller of twin boys, was born to Sherrice and Robert Lyons on the 20th of May 1998. Charming, classy, funny, loving and lovable Rodney brought laughter and joy to every space he entered. He combined his attention to details, his love for music, his amiability and his yearning to be a successful entrepreneur and founded of two nationally acclaimed entertainment companies, one of which was responsible for 51/50 one of the largest parties in Kingston. Among his other entrepreneurial pursuits was his  swimwear company (Swimtiingz876) and Rosasr’s Closet a clothing company. He accomplished all this and more while completing his undergraduate studies at the Caribbean Maritime University.

Rodney defended his truth respectfully but adamantly even at the risk of being misunderstood. Rodney knew better than those he tried to convince that life is short and deserves your best shot every day.

After 23 full years Rodney exited the stage of life on July 23, in a tragic motor vehicle accident. Way too soon for the many who loved him dearly and who in hindsight can see the depth and breadth of a full life lived with passion and signature style.

Rodney leaves to mourn his mother Sherrice Lyons, father Robert Lyons, twin brother Ravon Lyons, brother Shane Lyons, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, a host of friends, chief of which is Sarijae Stewart.  Though devastated by this major loss, we remain steadfast in our belief that God’s will is perfect. 

Proverbs 19:21 Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it’s the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
