José Rodriguez

February 8, 1990 — August 1, 2026

In Loving Memory of José Rodriguez It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of José Rodriguez, who left us on August 1, 2026, at the age of 36. Born on February 8, 1990, in México, José was a light in the lives of all who knew him, and he will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched. José battled bravely with drug-use and mental illness, displaying a strength and resilience that were truly inspiring. He was known for his quick wit and remarkable ability to ease tension with just a few words. His warmth and humor made everyone around him feel comfortable and valued, and he had a gift for turning ordinary moments into cherished memories. José's love for cooking was one of his many passions. He was an avid cook, often seen delighting his family and friends with culinary creations that not only satisfied the stomach but also warmed the heart. His kitchen was a place of laughter, togetherness, and joy. He is survived by his devoted spouse, Gabriela Hernández, with whom he shared 12 loving years of marriage, and their cherished child, José Jr. Rodriguez. José also leaves behind his father, Alex Rodriguez, and his brother, John-Luke Rodriguez. He was predeceased by his beloved mother, María Aldaco, and his sister, Alexe Rodriguez. Though José did not have grandchildren or great-grandchildren, his legacy of love and kindness will resonate through generations. The family warmly invites you to join them in a celebration of José's life on August 5, 2026, at 5:00 pm. As we come together to honor his memory, we remember the laughter, love, and joy he brought into our lives. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to a charity of your choice, in honor of José's generous spirit and passion for helping others. Please join us for a night of remembering José, as we hold his memory close and celebrate the extraordinary person he was. May we find comfort in the love he shared and the fond memories that will live on in our hearts forever.
