Rodrigo Diaz vivió sus 36 años con un amor por la vida sin límites y una sonrisa fácil que podía iluminar el día de cualquiera. Falleció en Idaho Falls el 7 de noviembre de 2025, dejando un legado de risas, calidez y corazón.
Nacido en Rexburg,ID y criado en Roberts,ID, Rodrigo vivió la vida con curiosidad y pasión. Le encantaba cocinar, jugar golf, practicar snowboard, tocar el bajo y el fútbol — y por encima de todo, pasar tiempo con su familia. Ya fuera perfeccionando una receta, deslizándose por las pistas, tocando música con amigos o riendo alrededor de la mesa con sus seres queridos, encontraba alegría en cada momento y hacía que cada día se sintiera como una celebración. Como solía decir, “¡Do it up!” — un lema que vivió en todo lo que hacía.
Rodrigo tenía una alegría por la vida que atraía a las personas. Si estabas en su círculo, estabas dentro de él de por vida. Fue un amigo increíble, un hermano y un hijo devoto, y un esposo que amaba profundamente. Compartió ese amor y risas con su esposa, Aruna Rowberry Diaz, quien fue su compañera constante y su socia en todas las aventuras de la vida. Juntos construyeron un hogar lleno de calidez, humor y corazón — un tipo de amor que todos a su alrededor podían sentir.
La mayor alegría de la vida de Rodrigo fue ser papá. Su hijo, Florentino (Tino), fue su orgullo y propósito — su compañero de aventuras favorito, a quien quería enseñarle todo lo que sabía. Rodrigo mostraba su amor no con palabras elegantes, sino con actos de cuidado, humor y su presencia constante — cada vez, siempre.
Rodrigo deja en vida a su esposa, Aruna Rowberry Diaz; su hijo, Florentino; sus padres, Rosalio Diaz Linares y Maria Dora Vazquez Diaz ; sus hermanos, Alexis Diaz y Ariana Diaz; y muchos parientes y amigos amorosos que llevarán su memoria en sus corazones.
Rodrigo será recordado por su risa, su curiosidad y la manera en que hacía sentir a todos como familia. Su presencia llenaba cada habitación, y su amor continuará resonando en la vida de todos los que tuvieron la suerte de conocerlo.

“Vivió con intensidad, amó profundamente, nos dejó a todos un poco mejor de lo que nos encontró… y como siempre decía, ‘¡Do it up!’”
Rodrigo Diaz lived his 36 years with a boundless love of life and an easy smile that could brighten anyone’s day. He passed away in Idaho Falls on November 7, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of laughter, warmth, and heart.
Born in Rexburg, ID and raised in Roberts, ID, Rodrigo lived life with curiosity and heart. He loved cooking, golf, snowboarding, playing bass guitar, and soccer — and above all, spending time with his family. Whether he was perfecting a recipe, hitting the slopes, jamming with friends, or laughing around the table with loved ones, he found joy in every moment and made each day feel like a celebration. As he often said, “Do it up!” — a motto he lived by every single day.
Rodrigo had an undeniable joy for life that drew people in. If you were in his circle, you were in it for life. He was an amazing friend, a devoted brother and son, and a husband who loved deeply. He shared that love and laughter with his wife, Aruna Christine Diaz Rowberry, who was his constant companion and partner through life’s adventures. Together they built a home full of warmth, humor, and heart — the kind of love that everyone around them could feel.
The greatest joy of Rodrigo’s life was being a dad. His son, Florentino (Tino), was his pride and purpose — his favorite adventure partner, the one he wanted to teach everything he knew. Rod showed his love not with fancy words but through acts of care, humor, and showing up — every single time.
Rodrigo is survived by his wife, Aruna Rowberry Diaz; his son, Florentino Diaz; his parents, Rosalio Diaz Linares and Maria Dora Vazquez; his siblings, Alexis Diaz and Ariana Diaz; and many loving relatives and friends who will carry his memory in their hearts.
