Max Rodriguez

I´m years late, sadly. My heart is broken, and I wish I would´ve seeked you out sooner. For years after high school until now, I always wanted to visit you. You literally changed my life and I can still see you fresh in my mind like it was yesterday. I´ll never forget how much you believed in me and made me feel like I can do anything. I always told my kids stories about you and how much I missed you. Little did I know.... Now my kids go to south San and I wish you could´ve met them. I...

Sandra and Hank, though we have never met, I wanted to let you know that we share in your sorrow and pain at the loss of such a loving, caring, and compassionate man. His life will continue to live through all those individuals, especially his students, that will pass on his gentle and loving nature to others in need. God Bless you!!!

I am so fortunate to have known you and laugh with you and trust you. You are one of those rare people that God plants as a "force of nature." So much so, that your bright light will continue to shine from your high place in Heaven as you continue to guide us with laughter and grace. You will be missed my friend and you will be remembered by all of us you left behind.

Mr. Rodriguez was one of the few teachers that sincerely cared about his students and their future. He made a difference in many of our lives and we are very thankful for having such an inspirational role model. We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers, especially anytime I hear The Steve Miller band's - The Joker... Rest In Peace.

Rest in peace Mr. Rodriguez we will miss you

Max you will always be a shining light to your principal friends, sorority brothers, Marine buddies, Mac HS, St Mary alumni friends and the list never ends. You were such a BRILLIANT, fun loving human being. I will always cherish the decade plus great times we shared. We laughed enough to last a lifetime! You were there for me during my darkest career days and as long as I live I will never ever forget the advice you gave me. You loved your job and school and it became truly evident when...

Despite our heavy hearts, let us celebrate the life of Max Rodriguez. My children will tell tales of his existentialism and power clean feats; of his Iroc and Desert Eagle, of his squat records, compassion, and courage. Hank, your father was a damn good man. So too shall you be (hopefully you'll learn more Spanish than he did).
