Rudy Delgado, 88, of Queen Creek, AZ, passed away on September 18, 2025, surrounded by his family.

Born June 18, 1937, Rudy lived a full and vibrant life. He embraced many pursuits with curiosity and joy, from building model RC planes to riding motorcycles, carpentry, and archery. A skilled draftsman by profession, he also had a lifelong passion for art, which filled his life and the lives of those around him.

Rudy is survived by his son, Andy and wife, Kris; and their two sons, Noah and Liam; his daughter, Sharon; granddaughter, Arie; and great-granddaughters, Bey and Serena; and his daughter, Joyce and her husband, Michael.

He treasured his friendships with Ray and Nancy Rodrigues and their children; Nilsa and Eddie Rubenstein and their children, Angela, Mike, Maya, and Monique; and his childhood friend, Hazel.

Rudy will be remembered for his artwork, his spirit, and as a devoted New York Yankees fan who relished every moment cheering on his team.

The family takes comfort in believing Rudy has been reunited with his beloved wife, Miriam, who passed away in April 2007.

Rest in peace, Mom & Dad.
