Rogelio "Roger Bandido Riddick" Espinoza Jr.

1979 - 2022

Rogelio "Roger, Bandido Riddick" Espinoza Jr. was born December 15, 1979 to Rogelio and Irma Espinoza. Roger was tragically taken from us by a reckless driver while riding his motorcycle on September 24, 2022. Roger was born in Glendale, CA., raised in San Antonio, Texas and was a 1998 graduate of John Jay High School.

Roger met the love of his life, Tracy, at the mere age of five in kindergarten. Their love story was what country love songs are made of. Roger often teased Tracy about the "Little House on the Prairie" dresses she wore in grade school and that he loved her even then. Roger and Tracy played peek a boo love throughout their school years and finally committed to their adventurous journey together in their junior year. From that point forward they were inseparable and eagerly began their life as husband and wife mere days after graduating high school in May 1998.

Roger and Tracy welcomed three children, Julian, Adrian and Allison, during their 24-year marriage. Roger was a devoted family man and adored his wife and children. He was endeared to his two daughter-in-laws, Emily and Raven and was blessed to get the title of "Popo" to Jameson Rogelio and Bonnie Makenna. Roger loved his family fiercely. Roger was a career electrician of 24 years and was a master of his profession. Roger always made time to help family and friends. Roger knew no strangers, making friends everywhere he went in all walks of life. Roger was a perpetual jokester and could be counted on to bring life to any event, whether a somber or joyous occasion. He will be dearly missed by so many.

In 2011, Roger became a significant part in two groups "the Circle" and the Bandidos Motorcycle Club. Roger spent endless hours attending events, celebrating milestones, sharing holidays and traveling with his Circle. The Circle will feel a tremendous void without him.







Roger spent his free time riding motorcycles with his brothers of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club, of which he officially became "Bandido Riddick" in 2017, often going on cross country rides. Bandido Riddick loved his Brothers and was very well respected by all members of the Club. He was dedicated to the Red and Gold Nation and will surely be missed by all that had the privilege of meeting him and sharing his life.

Bandido Riddick was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Pedro Martinez Sr. and his maternal grandparents, Epifanio and Angelita Garcia. He is survived by his beloved wife Tracy, his sons Julian (Raven) and Adrian (Emily), his Princess, Allison Grace and two grandchildren, Jameson Rogelio and Bonnie MaKenna, his parents, Rogelio and Irma Espinoza, his brother Eric (Jovannie), his in-laws, Fred and Sylvia Lopez, his bil, Fred Jr., his sils Monica (Steve) and Desiree (JoLynn) and countless aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

The family will have a memorial service on Sunday, October 9, 2022, at 3:00 p.m. at Funeral Caring Funeral Home, 6500 I-35, San Antonio, TX 78218. Bandido Riddick will have his Last Ride on Monday, October 10, 2022, leaving promptly at 10:00 a.m. from Funeral Caring Funeral Home to his final resting place at First Memorial Park Cemetery located at 20567 State Highway 16 South, Von Ormy, TX 78073.
