The person who leads or commands a group, organization, or country. A Leader in definition; that’s my Brother Rodrigo for life. I will dedicate my future to always be known as Rodrigo’s little Sister. And always keep his faith alive, here on Earth. He will forever be known as the rooster of the family, to stand tall, with pride and always hold his chest out to deal with the life ahead. You stepping in as my Father figure I will forever remember… your dedication and advice you gave me, I will hold and live it for the rest of my life. Your Sisters and Brother will always remember you and we will forever live your on going presence.
Te amo mi Hermano y siempre quando escuche una motocycleta, el tono de tus votas en la madera quando caminas, o la voz de Vicente Fernandez, me va parpirar mi corazon deciendo a me mi Dios que estas con migo y yo, con tu espiritu.
My friend, my leader, my pride to have you as my Brother… your soul and spirit will forever live… I love you Rod!
Forever and always until we meet again, your little Sister, Crystal. ~
Some men lead their lives with fervor; Rod lived his with ZESTY GUSTO! From the food on the table to chilling in the pool, all of his keen senses were engaged in his surroundings, and he expressed himself with exuberance.
During ten years as a member of our Canadian family, Rod’s curiosity, quick eye, ease of learning and diverse interests compelled him to share the world’s wonders with family and friends. He even tried, and failed, to teach me how to prepare his grandmother’s enchiladas. He insisted on visiting Liette’s maternal grandparents’ farm and paternal grandparents’ homestead, and meeting as many relatives as possible. A smile like his transcends language barriers.
He protected me from spiders and snakes at Rancho Esperanza, where he realized many of his dreams, including raising chickens and sheep, and managing a nearby cattle ranch. He embraced every visit with open arms.
Most of all, I cherish his unwavering trust in me as Diego’s and Vivian’s madrina. I am honoured and forever committed to supporting and encouraging Liette with parenting. Rest in eternal peace, hombre.
Rod Jr, Diego, Vivian, and Mia: as you make choices and realize your potential, please allow his unconditional love and immense intelligence guide you on your life’s journey. I love you 💛💚💜💙
So sorry for your loss Liette. You and your children are on my mind a lot. I know what you are going through. Thank God for memories, they do help.
