Rodney Andrew Blum,
age 72, of Fruita, Colorado,
passed away peacefully in
his home, surrounded by
loved ones, on July 8, 2021,
after a long and very strong
battle against cancer.
Mr. Blum was born on February 21, 1949, in Omaha,
Nebraska. He was the son of George Andrew Blum
and Margaret Ruth Lawson, and the brother of Arletta,
Dorothy, Kathy, Linda, and Nola.
He graduated from Fruita Monument High School in
1967, and served his country proudly in the U.S. Army.
Rodney built a business as a general contractor. His
love for building began at a young age and he proudly
started “Rodney A Blum Contracting” as a young man.
He was a very successful builder/remodeler for many
years.
He enjoyed a great Thanksgiving gathering, camping,
traveling, hiking, riding his Harley and most of all
making memories with the ones he loved.
He will be remembered by most for his colorful
personality, strong voice and outspoken opinions.
Rodney is survived by daughter, Michelle J, Moore,
of Loma; sons Victor A. Blum and Eric A. Blum, of
Fruita, and life partner, Phyllis Gisler, of Fruita. He was
a very proud grandfather of 11 grandchildren and six
great-grandchildren.
He will be greatly missed by many!
