Rodolfo Gonzales Jr. Obituary
Rodolfo Gonzales Jr., “Rudy”, “Sambo”, 53 of Tempe, Arizona passed away unexpectedly on December 28, 2024 due to a house fire on Christmas morning. He was surrounded by his family and loved ones. He was a loving son, brother, uncle, father and grandfather.
Rudy was born in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin on August 15, 1971. Rudy was the oldest of his siblings. His family moved to Chandler, Arizona when he was six years old. In 1989 he met Michelle and they had three beautiful daughters Valerie , Victoria and Veronica. He was the only one in his family that graduated from high school, “ Chandler High Class of 1990” and proud of it! Rudy was a hard worker and always provided for his family.
He loved his parents Rodolfo Sr., “Fito” and Grace and his siblings Eddie and Adriana. We lost his father Fito in 2023 and his brother Eddie in 2024.
His most proudest accomplishments are his children, Valerie “ValleyGirl”, Victoria “Skippy”, and Veronica, but most of all his 11 grandchildren that he would show off and tell everyone that he had!
He will be greatly missed and never forgotten- We love you Dad!
Gonzales Forever.
