Rodney Blodgett

Rodney Wayne Blodgett, age 5, of Wilson, Wisconsin died accidentally on Thursday, August 18, 2011.

Rodney was born August 1, 2006, the son of Nichola Thorsen and Travis Blodgett. He attended 4K School at Spring Valley. Rodney was an active boy, always on the go. He loved animals (his rabbit, all dogs and his puppy, horses), riding his bike, helping with gardening, and playing outside. He was always smiling and happy, never complained (other than that he wanted his mom), and he was shy but really starting to open up and be more talkative and try new things.

Survivors include his parents: Nichola Thorsen of Wilson; Travis Blodgett of Peshtigo; 1 brother Zack Thorsen; 2 sisters: Karli Thorsen and Sabrina Blodgett; grandparents: Terry and Sandy Thorsen of Wilson; Diane Hudson of Baldwin; and Richard Blodgett of Winter; great grandparents: Jeanette Colburn of Wilson; Mary Thorsen of Baldwin; Betty Blodgett of Ladysmith; and Marlys Hudson of Baldwin; aunts and uncles: Shane Thorsen of Woodbury; Kelly Shannon of Minneapolis; Heath Blodgett of Prairie Farm; Ritchie Blodgett of Menomonie; and many other relatives and friends.

Funeral service for Rodney will be on Thursday, August 25, 2011 at 4:00 p.m. at the Wilson Lutheran Church, Wilson, Wisconsin, with Rev. Douglas Brandt officiating. Visitation is from 1:30 until 3:30 at the church prior to the service.
