Juan Rodriguez

1943 - 2022

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our father Juan Rodriguez, who went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on May 7, 2022 at the age of 78.

Juan will be lovingly remembered by his children: Johnny (Angelica) Rodriguez, Richard (Paula) Rodríguez, Alice (Jerie) Rios, and Guadalupe Rodriguez; 14 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren; 7 brothers and sisters, as well as numerous relative and friends.

He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Emilia Rodriguez, of 43 years; Mother, Esperanza Renteria, mother and father-in-law Luis and Avelina Marin; great grandson Dedrik Nathan Cunha and niece Nora Tover.

Juan met the love of his life, Emilia Marin, while attending Gadsden High School in Anthony, New Mexico in 1964. They would later be married on May 28, 1965 in Anthony, New Mexico. Soon after being married they would move to Blythe. CA. where they would go on to have four children together. They were married for 43 years until the passing of our mother in 2008.

After moving to Blythe in the mid 60's, Juan would make Blythe his home until his passing. He was a hard worker and worked in agriculture for many years for Noroian Farms. He also worked many years for Imperial Hardware Store as a delivery driver.

Even though he worked hard 6 days a week, on his only day off he would still make time to spend with his kids, visiting family, spending the day out at the desert exploring and grilling wherever we were. He loved taking the family out fishing and walnut picking at the local walnut trees in Blythe. He devoted his life to working hard to support his family. He will be deeply missed. May you rest in God's loving arms Dad. We love you.

A Visitation Service will be held at Frye Chapel and Mortuary on May 26, 2022 from 5 - 8 pm. A Funeral Service will be held on May 27, 2022 at Frye Chapel and Mortuary.
