You will never be forgotten. We didn't see you on earth, but will in heaven someday.

Coming up to the first anniversary of the passing of Rodriguez, I send hugs, support, and gentle thoughts to all those who loved him and especially his dear family who loved him most of all. Many Blessings and Much Love. - from Mrs. Gary Grimshaw

I loved and still love his music. Joyce UK.

I first saw Sixto on 60 Minutes. In my opinion it was 60 Minutes' best piece. they should follow up with a show applauding his life. A great man, Father, song writer and singer. I joined his followers late but he meant a lot to me and my family. Jim Nelson, Scottsdale AZ.
