Kenneth Rodrigue Obituary

Loved by all for his

infectious sense of humor!

Mesa, AZ

Kenneth R Rodrigue, age 73 of Mesa Arizona, born in Lowell Massachusetts, lost his valiant battle with Pancreatic Cancer on Friday March 26, 2021. Survived by his wife of 52 years, Michelle (Tetreault) Rodrigue of Mesa Arizona, his daughter Jennifer Cole and her husband Samuel Cole of Harrisburg Pennsylvania and the Granddaughter Ashlee Kelsch of Harrisburg Pennsylvania.

Also survived by nephew Scott Myers and family Kathy Myers and Rosa Crouch, all of Laughlin Nevada, great niece Bethany Stabler and her family, husband Kam and children Mac, Jane and Hope, and nephew Johnathan Myers and family Diane and Jackson, all of Lee's Summit Missouri.

Ken is reunited with mother Alice (Platt) Rodrigue, father Albert Rodrigue, sister Leona (Fortin) Myers and husband Jack Myers, all of Lowell Massachusetts.

A boy officer, class of 1965 Lowell High School. After graduation, Ken served in the United States Airforce from 1967 to 1971 and was a life member of the DAV. Ken's many enjoyments came from buying and selling collectables, (much to Michelle's chagrin), hiking the (big) desert and tending bar from Massachusetts to Arizona. All the people who are blessed to have known Ken will agree, 'A Day Without Laughter is a Day Wasted', Charlie Chaplain.

There will be no memorial service. Ken's ashes will be interred along side his family at Saint Joseph's Cemetery, Chelmsford Massachusetts at the family's convenience.
