In memoriam of Rod Menzel

Rod founded GreatWay Roofing in Ventura County and was a WSRCA board member.

The WSRCA community is deeply saddened by the sudden and unexpected passing of Rod Menzel, a former board member whose presence left a lasting mark on all who knew him. Rod’s passing leaves a profound void, as he was a man known for his kindness, generosity and unwavering dedication to both his profession and community.

Rod was a respected businessman based in Moorpark, California. In 1999, he founded Great American Roofing in Ventura County. Through his visionary leadership and a commitment to exceptional customer service, the company underwent a significant rebranding in 2008, emerging as GreatWay Roofing. Under Rod’s guidance, the company grew to serve the San Fernando Valley and the Santa Clarita Valley. Colleagues and clients alike admired his integrity, tireless work ethic and pursuit of excellence.

Beyond his professional achievements, Rod will be remembered for the friendships he nurtured and the loyalty he inspired. His legacy is one of compassion, leadership and service. Rod’s life will continue to inspire those within our community to lead with heart and contribute meaningfully.

WSRCA extends its deepest gratitude to Rod for his dedicated service. He helped make the roofing community stronger and better. He will be truly missed.
