Edwin Rodriguez Obituary
Obituary published on Legacy.com by Buklad-Merlino Memorial Homes - Hamilton on Mar. 13, 2026.
July 1, 1949 - July 23, 2025
Edwin Miguel Rodriguez, 76, of Trenton, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, in Cape Coral, Florida, surrounded by the love and comfort of his cherished family.
Born in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico, Edwin moved to the Trenton, New Jersey area as a teenager. He proudly graduated from Trenton High School and soon after, answered the call to serve his country by enlisting in the United States Navy. He served with pride and honor for six years before being honorably discharged.
Following his military service, Edwin returned to Puerto Rico, where he met and married the love of his life, Sonia. Together, they began building a beautiful life and family. They moved back to Trenton and called NJ home for another 38 years. More recently, Edwin had been residing in Florida for the past 12 years, enjoying his well-earned retirement. Edwin retired from the City of Trenton Sewer Authority in 2004 after many years of devoted and loyal service.
Outside of work, he had a true passion for music and the outdoors. He found great joy in fishing and loved playing the guitar and harmonica. But above all, his greatest joy came from being surrounded by his family, especially his beloved grandchildren, who brought endless light into his life.
Predeceased by his parents, Miguel and Antonia (Ruiz) Rodriguez; and his long wife, Sonia Rodriguez Vera; Edwin leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion. He is survived by his children: Ciara (Sylvia) Cynthia (Ruben), Michael (Diana), Raquel (Brayan), Esther (Cristian), and Edwin Jr.; his three brothers and three sisters; fourteen adored grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and lifelong friends who will carry his memory in their hearts forever.
Funeral services will be held on Friday, August 1, 2025 at 11:30 a.m. at the Buklad-Merlino Memorial Home, 2141 South Broad Street, Hamilton, NJ.
Visitation for family and friends will be held from 9:00 a.m. until the time of the service.
Burial will follow in Greenwood Cemetery, Hamilton, NJ.

Edwin Miguel Rodríguez, de 76 años, de Trenton, falleció pacíficamente el miércoles 23 de julio de 2025 en Cape Coral, Florida, rodeado del amor y el consuelo de su querida familia.
Nacido en Adjuntas, Puerto Rico, Edwin se mudó al área de Trenton, Nueva Jersey cuando era adolescente. Se graduó con orgullo de Trenton High School y poco después, respondió al llamado de servir a su país alistándose en la Marina de los Estados Unidos. Sirvió con orgullo y honor durante seis años antes de ser dado de baja con honores.
Después de su servicio militar, Edwin regresó a Puerto Rico, donde conoció y se casó con el amor de su vida, Sonia. Juntos, comenzaron a construir una hermosa vida y una familia. Regresaron a Trenton y llamaron hogar a NJ por otros 38 años. Más recientemente, Edwin había estado residiendo en Florida durante los últimos 12 años, disfrutando de su merecida jubilación.
Edwin se retiró de la Autoridad de Alcantarillado de la Ciudad de Trenton en 2004 después de muchos años de servicio devoto y leal. Fuera del trabajo, tenía una verdadera pasión por la música y el aire libre. Encontró una gran alegría en la pesca y le encantaba tocar la guitarra y la armónica. Pero sobre todo, su mayor alegría provenía de estar rodeado de su familia, especialmente de sus amados nietos, quienes trajeron una luz infinita a su vida.
Fallecieron sus padres, Miguel y Antonia (Ruiz) Rodríguez; y su larga esposa, Sonia Rodríguez Vera; Edwin deja un legado de amor y devoción. Le sobreviven sus hijos: Ciara (Sylvia) Cynthia (Rubén), Michael (Diana), Raquel (Brayan), Esther (Cristian) y Edwin Jr.; sus tres hermanos y tres hermanas; catorce nietos adorados; y muchas sobrinas, sobrinos, familiares y amigos de toda la vida que llevarán su memoria en sus corazones para siempre.
Los servicios funerarios se llevarán a cabo el viernes 1 de agosto de 2025 a las 11:30 a.m. en Buklad-Merlino Memorial Home, 2141 South Broad Street, Hamilton, NJ.
Las visitas para familiares y amigos se llevarán a cabo desde las 9:00 a.m. hasta la hora del servicio.
El entierro seguirá en el cementerio de Greenwood, Hamilton, Nueva Jersey.
