RodriguezMarioIt is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Mario A. Rodriguez.  His life was not always an easy one, and his journey carried struggles that many may never have fully understood, but beyond those struggles was a son, a brother, a man who was loved deeply.

To those who knew him, he was so much more than the difficult chapters of his life.  He was someone who shared so much with his family, our childhood, our memories, our laughter and our family story.  Though his path took him places we never expected, he will always have a place in our hearts and will always be part of our family.

He leaves behind his loving family who will forever carry his memory in their hearts.  He is survived by his mother, Kimberly A. Ablin and significant other, Ray E. Crespin; his father, Mario A. Rodriguez, Sr.; brother, Christopher R. Calloway; sisters, Emily R. Crespin and husband, Ruben D. Parra, Judith R. Jameson and husband, Josh Jameson, Heidi Gonzales; grandmother, Judy R. Gonzales.  He was preceded in death by his brother, Eric C. Rodriguez and grandfather, Felipe J. Gonzales.

Rest peacefully Mario.  We hope you found the freedom and peace you longed for in this life. You will be missed, you will be remembered and we will forever love you.  Until we meet again.
