from DRIS;

It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Rod Pedersen, Owner of Dive Right In Scuba has passed away without warning. Rod was not only the owner of the dive shop we call our second home, but a devoted Family Man, Friend, and Mentor. After spending eight amazing weeks in Florida doing what he loved the most, diving and spending time with his Loving Wife, RaeAnn, The Lord called him home.

Many of you have spoken with Rod over the phone, met him at a show or dive site, took a class from, or just enjoyed a great conversation with him. As you know, Rod was a special person with a great sense of family and a big heart that connected with people all over the world.

Rod will be missed by the Dive Right In Scuba family, and all that knew him. Our hearts may bear the burden of this sudden loss of a great man, but we know that we are all better for having known and shared time with him.

We love you Rod, and will all miss you greatly!

Love the ENTIRE DRIS Family!!!!
 
My heart so goes out to Mike and the gang at DRIS. Words cannot begin to express the loss nor can they adequately compensate for it. Your loss is our loss and we will grieve with you.
 
This is a loss to everyone in the community. My thoughts are with his and the extended DRIS family.
 
This is so sad. My condolences to Rod's family and to DRIS. He will be missed.
 
Condolences to His family and his coworkers at DRIS.
