Steven Rodd

Steven Rodd, 62 of Fremont passed away on November 12, 2026. He was born to David Rodd and Nancy Schrier on September 13, 1964, in Fremont.

Steve graduated from Fremont Ross High School in 1983 before attending Terra State Community College for an electrical apprenticeship. He held a career with Materion for over 35 years where he mentored many apprentices before working for Countyline Co-Op. 

On December 23, 2017, Steve married Corrina Shiets and together they have shared many years of love and created countless memories. 

Steve had a larger than life personality. He was a true outdoorsman and enjoyed hunting mushrooms and snowmobiling. He was an avid dirt track racing fan and a lifelong Cleveland Browns fan. He loved swimming and his time on his high school swim team, and later had the honor of coaching for the YMCA. Steve was a member of the Fremont Historical Society and spent many hours at the Tiffin Bark Park with his beloved golden retrievers, Butters and Rinna. His family will always remember his helping spirit and his knack for fixing or working on most anything.

 Left to cherish his memory are his wife, Corrina of Fremont; mother, Nancy Rodd of Fremont; sons Alex Steven (Heather) Rodd and Adam David Rodd both of Fremont; stepsons, Brandyn O'Connell and Nolan O'Connell; grandchildren, Teagan Rae Rodd and Asher David Rodd; and step-grandchildren, Bentley, Cooper, Marcus O'Connell; and brother, James (Susan) Rodd of Cincinnati.

Steve was preceded in death by his father, David Rodd; stepfather, Jon Schrier; step-grandson, Brantley O'Connell; grandmother, Dorothy Rodd; and grandfather, Dwight Swaisgood. 

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, November 22 from 1:00-4:00pm at the Herman-Karlovetz Funeral Home & Crematory, Fremont for friends and family to gather and share memories of Steve.
