Alex Rodriguez Obituary

Alex Rodriguez, retired fire chief, was remembered Thursday as a humble family man who led the Santa Fe Springs Department of Fire-Rescue to being one of the state's top departments.
"He brought an outside vision and a level of professionalism that was valued by the members of the department and the city," said SFS Fire-Rescue Chief Mike Crook of his predecessor at the ceremony inside Our Church of Heritage at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.
Rodriguez, 52, died Sept. 15 from an undisclosed illness, after retiring in November 2012 after 31 years of working in several fire departments.
