The original member of Hi-Five died on Sunday after complications from an infection and pneumonia.
His former bandmate Marcus Sanders said Roderick was in a car crash 30 years ago in Florida that left him paralysed from the neck down.
Afterwards, he developed an infection that spread through his body over the years.

He also developed pneumonia over the last two weeks and was in and out of hospital right up until his death.

Friends and collaborators have paid tribute to the musician.
The band’s musical director Martinez Little wrote: “I am saddened to find out that Roderick ‘Pooh’ Clark another member of the famed singing group ‘Hi5’ passed away on Easter Sunday.”
He added: “Pooh was the most athletic of them all. In basketball he could stand right under the basket and jump straight up and dunk the ball.
“Our play fights and Super Soaker battles were epic. We also used to battle each other hard on the Bball court in most cities.
“I still miss the fun times touring with my little brothers as Musical Director. My condolences to Hi5 and his family. R.I.P. Pooh.”
