The Bakersfield Californian 
Askew, Rodney Glenn     
1949 - 2005 
 
Rodney Glenn Askew 
Services: Thurs., July 14, 7:00 p.m. 

Rodney Glenn Askew was born June 9, 1949, in Wasco, CA to proud parents Lois 
and Dillard Askew. Rod peacefully entered into eternal life in the early 
morning hours of Thursday, July 7, 2005, after a long battle with illness. Rod 
grew up in Shafter, CA, and moved to Orange in 1969. He spent over 30 years in 
the newspaper business, working for the Orange County Register and the Los 
Angeles Times. Rod was a devoted husband and father who loved all sports and 
spending time with his family. Rod fought his illness long and hard and did 
things that no one ever thought possible. He made everyone proud, and his 
strength and determination have been an inspiration to us all. Rod was happy 
and full of life to the end. His sense of humor was unmatched and could bring 
a smile to anyones face. He loved making people laugh and made even the 
darkest days bright for us all. Rod made the best of any situation and could 
always find the silver lining. Rod is survived by his loving wife, Jan; two 
sons, Gregory and David; his father, Dillard Askew and wife, Georgette; one 
brother, Stan Askew and wife, Betty; one nephew, Jeff Askew; and three step-
children, Shawna Grayer and husband Van, Dan Prentice, and Rick Prentice. He 
was preceded in death by his mother, Lois Askew. Rod will be sorely missed by 
all who have had the pleasure of knowing him. Services will be held Thursday, 
July 14, at 7:00 p.m. at the Brown Colonial Mortuary in Santa Ana and Friday, 
July 15, at 1:00 p.m. at the Shafter Cemetery followed by a service at Valley 
Bible Church, Shafter, at 2:30 p.m. We all miss and love you, Rod!
