Rogelio Rodriguez Jr., age 54, passed away on February 20, 2026. Born on December 20, 1971, in Brooklyn, Rogelio was a proud Brooklyn native who lived there his entire life.

Rogelio was a dedicated truck driver for Manhattan Beer Distributors, where he worked hard to provide for his family. He carried that same dedication, strength, and commitment into every area of his life.

He was immensely proud to be Puerto Rican. His culture was a big part of who he was - from the salsa music he loved to dance to, to the joy, warmth, and strong sense of family he carried in his heart. He embraced his heritage with pride and made sure everyone around him felt that vibrant spirit.

Above all, Rogelio was a devoted father to his two daughters, Estrella Rodriguez and Jacqueline Rodriguez, and his son, Domonick LeBron. His children were his greatest pride and joy. He was not only an amazing father, but also a loving brother, grandfather, uncle, devoted son, caring cousin, and loyal friend. To know him was to experience his warmth, humor, and generous spirit.

Rogelio had a passion for life. He loved dancing salsa, traveling to new places, and capturing special memories by recording videos at family events. Through his YouTube channel, he preserved countless joyful moments that his family will cherish forever. He had a way of bringing people together, filling rooms with laughter, music, and love.

Rogelio lived his life guided by integrity - "do the right thing, treat others with respect, and build trust." This principle shaped the way he loved, worked, and showed up for the people in his life, leaving a lasting impact on everyone he met.

Rogelio Rodriguez Jr. will be remembered for his big heart, vibrant energy, deep love for his family, and unwavering pride in his Puerto Rican roots. His presence was a gift to everyone who knew him, and his memory will live on in the hearts of his family and all whose lives he touched.

He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
