RODRIGUEZ, Rudy C., 68, (my life time companion) entered into the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ on August 8, 2011. He is survived by his beloved wife, Mary M. Rodriguez. We were blessed with four children, Rudy Jr. (predeceased), Lali (Steve), Tina (Ronnie) and Ernesto. In addition he had 17 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren. Rudy passed away peacefully surrounded by his children and grandchildren. He had a one of a kind personality and a sense of humor unlike any other. With us he shared his love for God, family and his animals. He showed us what it means to endure and never lose faith in Jesus. We are truly thankful for all the years of wonderful moments and memories. We will cherish all that he taught us throughout his life. He will be greatly missed. Visitation will be at MARTINEZ FUNERAL CHAPELS on Friday, August 12, 2011 from 5:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m., Chapel Service at 7:00 p.m. Services will end at 9:00 p.m. Arrangements entrusted to MARTINEZ FUNERAL CHAPELS, 2580 S. 6th Ave., Tucson, AZ
