Javier C. Rodarte, 81, passed away on November 4, 2017. He is survived by his beloved wife, Ernestina Rodarte; sons, Javier Rodarte, Jr. (Isabel), Ernie Alonso Rodarte and Michael Rodarte; daughters, Celina Rodarte, Melisa Rodarte Strong (Denny) and Monica Rebeca Tovar (Cesar); 10 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. This world lost an honorable man that always helped others in need. Although he was the youngest of 9 children, he was seen as the patriarch of his family, especially since losing his father at the young age of 2 years old. He took great care of his mother and was known as a momma's boy because he was always by her side. He married his childhood sweetheart, Ernestina and spent 58 years together with her.In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate a monetary donation that can be given to Martinez Funeral Chapels or directly to Mrs. Ernestina Rodarte.
