OXFORD – Rodney P. Fountain, 60, of Federal Hill Road, passed away on Friday, November 15, 2024, at St. Vincent Hospital in Worcester. He leaves behind his beloved daughter, Dominique T. Fountain of Brookfield, and her mother, Jennifer DeFilippo of Ludlow; his cherished grandson, Nicholas M. Gianakis of Brookfield; two sisters, Judith Bryniarski and Melissa V. Christian, both of Dudley; and many nieces and nephews. Rodney was predeceased by three brothers, Joseph P. Fountain Jr., Dennis A. Fountain, and Mark A. Fountain; and a sister, Cynthia L. Marable.

Born and raised in Oxford, Rodney was the son of the late Joseph P. and Shirley R. (Beauregard) Fountain. A lifelong resident of the community, he worked for Gaftek Corporation in New Hampshire for five years and was a skilled heavy equipment operator for many years.

Rodney was known for his love of pool, earning the reputation of a “pool shark” among friends. He enjoyed fishing, mowing the lawn, and taking leisurely drives around town. A hardworking man with a big heart, Rodney especially cherished time spent with his daughter and grandson.

A celebration of his life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to UMass Memorial Health, c/o Cancer Research, One Biotech, Suite 301, 365 Plantation St., Worcester, MA 01605.
