Jose "Joey"

Rodriguez

To our special boy, our first born, you were an angel without your wings. You came into our lives and taught us patience, compassion, and unconditional love. Your love and innocence spread to everyone you would meet, extending our family to friends, doctors and educators.

On March 29th at the age of 54 God called for you and gave you your wings, guiding you home.

Just like any good angel you had a mischievous side, terrorizing your siblings & cousins, sneaking out at night, making a mess of the house and you even got fired from your first job. Never to work again! It wasn't hard to make him happy, he loved tearing paper, music, dancing, mom's homemade tortillas, and kisses from dad. And of course cake and ice cream.

Your legacy will be survived by parents Joe & Irma Rodriguez, brothers Shawn & Michael Rodriguez, nephews & niece Shawn, Destinee & Austin Rodriguez and many uncles, aunts, & cousins. Predeceased by his grandparents Jose & Maria Rodriguez and Clemente & Guadalupe Escobedo.

We would like to give special thanks to Rebecca Escobedo Martinez, Martha Prado and Rosa Arreola for coming together at different times in Joey's life and contributing to his care and basic needs, along with countless others .

Joey had a special way of bringing people together.  Without Joey, we could never have met the people we met during his lifetime – all because of him.

Our sweet boy was truly our angel long before he left this earth, and we find comfort in knowing he is always with us and still bringing people together.

2 Samuel 2:6

"May the Lord now show you kindness and faithfulness, and I too will show you the same favor because you have done this."
