His life was marked by his love for his family, his willingness to help others, and the many memories he created with those who knew and loved him.
Rodrigo grew up in San Diego, Texas, where he developed an early interest in tinkering with cars and CB radios.

His faith was an important part of his life, and he believed in encouraging others and reminding them that Jesus cares about everyone
.Rodrigo proudly served his country in the United States Army National Guard, joining in 1986, receiving an honorable discharge in 1994. Following his time in the military, he worked for H.E.B in San Diego, Texas, and later for Walmart in Corpus Christi and Tulsa.
On June 17, 1997, Rodrigo married Wanda Kay Davis in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Together, they shared years of companionship, laughter, and love. One of the things that made their relationship special was Rodrigo's character. He loved God, enjoyed serving at his church and also took pride in that he did not smoke, drink, or use foul language, and he lived with a strong sense of integrity. He would do whatever he could to help others, especially his family. His kindness and willingness to lend a hand were among the qualities that those closest to him treasured most.
Family traditions and holiday memories held a special place in Rodrigo's heart. His loved ones will remember the stories, laughter, and special moments that made family gatherings memorable. He also had a playful side and enjoyed joking with those around him. No matter what holiday it happened to be, Rodrigo might leave with a cheerful "Merry Christmas," bringing a smile to the faces of those he encountered. It was just one of the little things that made him uniquely himself.
Rodrigo enjoyed being a Scout leader and collecting M&M figures, interests that reflected his enthusiasm for life and his enjoyment of the things that brought him happiness. He also enjoyed traveling, including trips to Branson, Florida, Arkansas, and Texas. Whether at home with family or away on a trip, he valued the experiences and relationships that made life meaningful.
Rodrigo's life was a reminder that the greatest legacy a person can leave is found in the lives they touch, the kindness they show, and the love they share. His family will carry forward the memories of his laughter, his unwavering values, and the countless ways he made a difference in their lives.
