Arnulfo Rodriguez

Our beloved brother, Arnulfo Rodriguez, passed away peacefully on January 13, 2023 at Knapp Medical Center. He was a simple, lighthearted and compassionate soul who loved the simple things in life and especially the wide-open road. He was an independent trucker for over 20 years. Although he possessed certifications in Atlas and Titan Torque, Leak Test, was a Structure Assembler Specialist who worked on Space Shuttle and other U.S. governmental contracts and was highly familiar who forklift, semi-trucks, tractors and harvesters, he remained humble and was always ready to sit and visit with his mother and friends or enjoy a good old western movie and good game of cards.

He was preceded in death by his father, Jose Guadalupe Rodriguez Sr., his niece Michelle Lynn Rodriguez-Farmer and nephew Jose Guadalupe (Joey) Rodriguez III.

He is survived by his mother, Evangelina Rodriguez and significant other,Irma (Nelly) Gonzalez as well as his siblings: Carmen Guerra, Violanda Mascorro (Alejandro Sr.), Juan Jose Rodriguez, Manuela Felch (Carlo), Alicia Rodriguez, Evangelina Montoya, Maria Isabel Cruz (Enderson), Jose Guadalupe Rodriguez Jr. (Clara) and Leticia Pena (Rolando), along with 22 nieces and nephews.

We are sincerely grateful to the many friends who have given us support and comfort during this time of loss and would also like to express our brother's expressed gratitude to Dr. Thomas E. Brooks of McAllen, as well as all the Knapp Medical Center staff members who were involved in his care.
