Juan Severino Rodriguez, 67 of Scottdale (East Huntingdon Township),

passed away at 2:07 pm Thursday, the first day of Spring, March 20, 2025 in AHN, Forbes Hospital, Monroeville after a courageous battle with stage 4 cancer. Juan was born February 25, 1958 in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, the son of the late Juan M. and Celia (Perez) Rodriguez, who passed away in September, and March, 2019 respectively. He grew up in Rio de Janeiro until the age of 11, moving to Porrino, Spain, his parents’ home town. At the age of 16 he immigrated to the U.S., joining his parents in Washington, DC. He married Rebecca J. “Becky” (Frey) Rodriguez on September 19, 1998.

Juan was a devoted husband, father, brother, uncle “Tio”, coach, and friend to all who knew him. Juan’s greatest joy was being a father, spending time and making memories with his family.  Juan enjoyed soccer and being a coach for the Scottdale Soccer Club at Kendi Soccer Field for over 15 years,where he coached all of his sons.  Juan was a joy and, fun to be around and, as a coach,was always very entertaining for the spectators to watch. All the hand motions, singles, yelling out their names with his Spanish accent flair, and of course you knew it was going downhill when he would take off his hat,  throwing it down on the sidelines.  Juan was an active member of the Alverton Center Bethel Church of God,where he enjoyed playing dart ball with the men of the church.  Juan’s work history extended over 50 years first as a dishwasher at the Army Navy Club in Washington DC, Manager for People’s Drug Store (later CVS), delivery driver for Schwan’s, Concrete Specialist for over 40 years, spending over 15 years with Gary Blair Concrete of Irwin and his last 2 years with Kishmo Inc. of Appollo.  Juan was a hard worker. If he worked with you, or for you, he would always call youBoss.  Juan always smiled and shared his smile with everyone he met.

Juan will be sadly missed by his loving family; his wife of 26 years, Rebecca J. “ Becky” (Frey) Rodriguez; his children, Francisco Juan (mom Gladys) of Germantown, MD, Ronald Jacob, Andrew Thomas, Matthew Edward, & Celina Elizabeth Rodriguez all at their family home in Scottdale; his siblings, Maria (John) Snelling of Virginia, Avelina (Juan) Barerra of Maryland, Jose (Kim) Rodriguez of Virginia; his parent in-laws Ron & Kathy (Ulery) Frey of Alverton; sister in-laws Mandy (Brian) Stetz of Zelienople, Trish (Javier) Cancino-Fierro of Verona; nieces & nephews, Paulo, Diana Barerra of Maryland, George (Tram), Stephen (Pamela), Richard (Sara) Snelling all of Virginia, Daniel (Lyndsay) Rodriguez of Virginia, Cristina (Rob) Foster of Florida, Abby Garrity, Drew & Brooke Stetz of Zelionople.
