Rollin Anthony Podwys passed away on July 23, 2025, surrounded by his loving family, just weeks after a sudden cancer diagnosis. Our hearts now carry a deep and irreplaceable void. Rollin is deeply missed and forever remembered as a precious and beloved husband, cherished father, proud grandpa, and “Papa” to many, both by blood and by love.

 

Camp Taylor, named after his grandson, was one of Papa’s greatest passions. For over two decades, he poured his heart into serving as camp director, mentor, and friend to thousands of children, volunteers, and families. His legacy lives on through his family, in every camper who feels accepted, every volunteer who feels called to serve, and every child who dares to smile through adversity.

 

We forever love Papa and salute his kind heart, love for each person, and grand deeds in life.  We know he is in heaven reconnected with family that has passed before him.  We are grateful to have an angel amongst us on earth.  We love your forever, Papa!
