Anthony Lee Rodriguez, of Houston, was born on the 7th of August 1973, and passed away on Monday, the 19th of August 2013, at the age of 40. Anthony was a much loved father, son, brother and friend.
He was, most of all, a devoted and loving father to his son, Nyle. He attended both Lee High School and Strait Jesuit College Preparatory and graduated in 1992. Subsequently, he received his diploma from Southwest Texas State University. He worked as a recruiter for education throughout his many years. Anthony also was a big sports fan of the Houston Texans and Houston Dynamo and had a personal passion for martial arts.
He is survived by his mother, Joanne Morales Linden and her husband, Peter; and his father Ralph Rodriguez. Additionally, he is survived by his son, Nyle Alexander Rodriguez; his brothers, Joseph Michael Rodriguez; Christopher Linden and his wife, Suzanne; and his sister, Kimberly Ann Rodriguez, and her husband, Tino Macias; along with many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.
Friends are cordially invited to gather with the family and share remembrances from five o'clock until eight o'clock this evening Friday, the 23rd of August, in the Jasek Chapel of Geo. H. Lewis & Sons, 1010 Bering Drive in Houston, where the recitation of the Holy Rosary is to commence at seven o'clock.
A Memorial Mass is to be offered at half-past one o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday, the 24th of August, at St. Michael Catholic Church, 1801 Sage Road in Houston, where the Rev. Douglas Guthrie, Parochial Vicar, is to serve as the celebrant. Immediately following, all are invited to greet the family during a reception to be held in a venue to be announced at the service.

Anthony was a special person and will be missed by so many. Nyle, you are an amazing kid and I know your dad is so proud of the young man you've become. Every time he spoke of you, there was a sense of pride that would overcome him. Keep your faith, work hard and just know there are so many people who are supporting you and who want to see you succeed. May God continue to watch over and protect you, Anthony's family and friends.

"My prayers go out to the Rodriguez family. May the lord be with all of you. I would like everyone to remember Anthony as a great father and a great person. I knew Anthony from work and his humor would always have us at work laughing. He always talked about his son and how much he loved him. It was a pleasure working with him. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten." Camilo Penso (Houston TX)

Joshua Delgado

August 23, 2013

You will definitely be missed. You were an excellent father, one who always talked about your son. You had a great spirit and always kept the work atmosphere fun at SBC. You always kept it real when we spoke about life, kids, and even when you told me "don't do it, don't get married"...lol Enjoyed the times that we got to hang with co workers, and our children Nyle and Joshua. My prayers go out to the family. Be strong Nyle, for I have too been through the pain of losing a parent at a young age and just know that you were all that your dad lived for and spoke of, so remember the good times! Anthony, you will be remembered and missed.....your friend Josh Delgado
