Rodney O'Brian Wideman-Wilson was born August 7, 1983, in Columbia, SC, the beloved son of Thelma Patricia Wideman and the late Rodney Dale Wilson. He departed this earthly life on Monday, September 8, 2025, in Columbia, South Carolina.
Rodney who was affectionately known as “Peabo” by his family and “Juice” by his friends, was educated in the public schools of Richland County where he loved to draw and had a passion for music.
He was a God-fearing man and at an early age he was baptized and became a member of Trinity Baptist Church.
Rodney was a kind and loving person who never met a stranger and would give you the clothes off of his back. He had a smile that would light up a room and he was a jokester who loved to make you laugh. Though he is no longer physically with us, he has left a legacy of love that will live on in the hearts and lives of all those who loved and knew him.
Rodney "Peabo" leaves to mourn his passing his loving mother, Thelma Patricia Wideman of Columbia, SC; two sisters, Laqunda Shante' Wideman Anderson of Columbia, SC, and Kylee Wilson of Bakersfield, CA; grandmother, Martha Coker-Wilson of Columbia, SC whom he lived in the home with at times; three uncles, Bernard D. Wideman and Dorsey A. Wideman both of Abbeville, SC, and Reginald (Sandra) Wilson of Columbia, SC; a cousin who he looked up to who was more like a brother, Corey (Natasha) Taylor of Columbia, SC, and a host of great aunts, great uncles, and other loving relatives and dear friends all of whom will dearly miss him.
