Alfredo A. Rodriguez, our beloved husband, brother, father and grandfather entered heavens gates; joining his heavenly father on Saturday, October 18, 2014 at the age of 79. He was born August 22, 1935 to the late Ernesto and Ester Rodriguez in Pana Maria, Texas. He married Julia Guerra, the love of his life, on December 09, 1953; where they would welcome seven beautiful children into this world. His passion for music began at an early age; curating the skill to play just about any musical instrument imaginable—with his greatest musical passion for the drums, accordion and the guitar. He was a fan of the great outdoors; fishing, hunting, camping and gardening were some of his favorites. He retired from the City of Lubbock after 20-dedicated years of service as a landscaper for the Parks and Recreation department. In his free time, Alfredo enjoyed sharing his passion with his family for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, Texas Rangers and the Red Raiders (Go-Tech); traveling many times a year to Texas Rangers and Red Raiders games were some of his greatest memories with his family.
