DANIEL RODRIGUEZ Obituary
Rev. Dr. Daniel Z. Rodriguez, born July 5, 1932 in Alice, Texas to Rev. Amado Rodriguez and Magdalena Benitez, passed away on July 19, 2020 at the age of 88. He is survived by his wife Eveli Rodriguez; children Michael, Mark and Denise Rodriguez; numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Daniel accepted the call to ministry in the Rio Grande Conference United Methodist Church. He attended Southwestern University, SMU Perkins School of Theology and received an Honorary Doctor Degree from Southwestern University.
His church appointments spanned South Texas. He also served in San Antonio as Northern District Superintendent, Conference Council Director and Director of MARCHA. His final appointment was pastor of La Trinidad UMC where he served for 19 years. Daniel's ministry spanned over 50 years. In his final years, having his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren live in San Antonio where they could gather on a regular basis as a "family" filled him with great joy. He was truly thankful for this blessing from God. Memorial Service will be held on August 9, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. at La Trinidad United Methodist Church; this service will be limited to family members only. Church members may view service on YouTube. In lieu of flowers, donations to La Trinidad UMC, 300 San Fernando, San Antonio, Texas.

My sincere condolences to the Rodriguez family. On Oct 20 I saw a picture of Rev Rodriguez in the "Special Tribute" section of the San Antonio Express News. He was a faithful servant of the LORD and worked tirelessly for the Rio Grande Conference. Surely JESUS has welcomed him home

Dear Rodriguez family, it was a joy and honor to have known Bro. Dan for so many years. He truly was a dear, good-hearted, lovely man of God. My mother absolutely loved working for him at La Trinidad and shared so many great stories of their time working together and how he always made her laugh.
After getting married and attending a different church, the times I would attend La Trinidad, with both my parents or just my father, he was always the one person I so looked forward to seeing and talking with, always a joy. My daddy also adored him very much.
I made sure never to leave the church without a quick word and a hug. He was such a great man and I loved him very much. (I think my mom is helping me write these words). Thank you for sharing Bro. Dan, your father with us. He will always have a special place in my heart.
May God comfort your hearts today and always.
