William Manuel Rodriguez "Bobby", 31, of Sylva, passed away on June 28, 2025 at Harris Regional Hospital.
Born in Sarasota, FL, he was the son of Juan Rodriguez and Rebecca Jamieson Rodriguez. Bobby was preceded in death by his grandparents, William and Hazel Jamieson, and brother, Juan Rodiguez, Jr.
Left to cherish his memory are his mother, Rebecca Rodriguez (Michael Martin) ; his girlfriend, Reyna Owle; daughter, Liliana; brothers, William, David, and Tomas Rodriguez; sister, Leona Rogers (Terrell); nieces, Zhavia, Adryana and Izabella; along with numerous extended family and friends.
Bobby was a silly, goofy guy that adored life and made the best out of any situation presented to him. He was a movie and gaming nerd and enjoyed playing video games and loved to cook. Bobby's daughter was his whole world and he loved being a father. He was a loving son and brother and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Smoky Mountain Cremations and Funeral Service of Maggie Valley is caring for the family and the online register is available at www.smokymountaincremations.com.
