Joe Rodriguez's Obituary
Joe B. Rodriguez, 65, of Bryan, Texas departed this world to be with his Heavenly Father on May 21, 2023
in Houston, Texas, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories that will forever be
etched in our hearts. He was born February 28, 1958 to Adelaido and Romana Rodriguez in Bryan, Texas.
He married Rosa Linda Rodriguez on October 3, 1998 in Houston, Texas.
He worked for many years as a plumbing salesman. Some of the companies he worked for were Moore
Supply, Ferguson Plumbing, Robinson Plumbing, Winnelson Plumbing, and Texas Plumbing Supply before
retiring from Morrison Supply in 2018. He met his wife while working at Moore Supply in 1989 while she
worked at the Houston location.
He was a man who embraced life with an infectious enthusiasm and a kind and gentle spirit. He had an
unwavering dedication to his family and friends, and his greatest joy in life was being a devoted
grandfather. He loved being their G-Pa and his eyes would light up whenever he spent time with his
grandchildren. In his leisure time, Joe found solace and joy in the company of his beloved wife, Rosie.
They were inseparable, sharing a bond built on trust, support, and a deep love that stood the test of
time. Together, they created a home filled with warmth, laughter, and countless memories. Whether it
was embarking on adventures, enjoying quiet moments together, or indulging in their shared passion for
watching movies, The Three Stooges and his hero, Al Bundy, their bond was unbreakable. Family was at
the core of Joe’s existence. He leaves behind a loving family who will forever cherish the moments they
shared with him. His children and grandchildren were the center of his universe, and he was a pillar of
strength, guidance, and love for each and every one of them. His legacy will live on through the values he
instilled in them and the love he showered upon them.
Beyond his role as a cherished family member, Joe was a dear friend to many. His infectious laughter,
kindheartedness, and compassionate nature touched the lives of all who had the pleasure of knowing
him. He was a beacon of light in the lives of those around him, always ready to lend a helping hand or
offer a listening ear. In the hearts of those who knew him, Joe will forever be remembered as a devoted
father, a loving husband, an adoring grandfather, a caring brother/brother-in-law, uncle and a true friend.
His legacy of love, laughter, and family values will continue to inspire and guide us all.
As we mourn the loss of Joe, we find solace in knowing that his spirit lives on through the memories we
hold dear. In his memory, let us honor his legacy by embracing life with the same joy and love he
exemplified.
He is survived by daughter, Priscilla Adrianna Rivas, Houston, Texas; son, Michael Rodriguez (Tiffany),
Katy, Texas; brother, Pete Rodriguez (Tina), Houston, Texas; sister-in-law, Victoria Ann Barrera, Houston,
Texas; brother-in-law, Fedrico Rivas, Jr. (Marilyn), Houston, Texas; mother-in-law, Rosa Linda Rhodes,
