Rodney Jerome Sumler Homegoing Services
Tribute to
Rodney Jerome Sumler. The homegoing services celebrating Sumler’s life included a long list of well-known community and governmental leaders who eulogized Sumler and lauded his legacy, including
Congresswoman Alma Adams, who presented Sumler’s family with a flag that had flown over the
U.S. Capitol. Sumler also was posthumously honored by Mayor
Allen Joines with a declaration of March 13 as Rodney Jerome Sumler Day in the
City of
Winston-Salem, NC. It is the hope of
RJS Publishing and Sumler’s extended family and friends that on March 13 of each year, the community stops to reflect on the life and legacy of Sumler, and celebrate his vision of hope, unity and
peace throughout the community.
