Rodolfo Chavez III (Little Rudy) passed away peacefully on May 8, 2023 with his loving family by his side. Little Rudy as he was known was born on January 26, 1992 in Fresno, California. He was 31 years of age. He is survived by his loving parents, Alicia and Rodolfo Chavez II, paternal grandmother Lidia Chavez, two brothers Albert and Goyo and one sister, Yolanda. He was known as Tio RuRu, the fun uncle to his numerous nieces and nephews, Albert Jr., Gio, Sophia, Alani, Andrew, Anthony (Bubba) and Jaxon.

Little Rudy loved his family and he loved being with his family. He had an amazing bond with who he called, “the love of his life, his dog, Sassy Marie Rose.” He was glued to his phone because he loved music. He loved to sing and he knew all of the songs and he loved to dance. He was a Raider fan, a Lakers fan, a Giants fan and a Las Chivas Soccer fan. He enjoyed going to the movies and monster truck events. Little Rudy will always be remembered for his good humor, his laughter and his humility. He was friendly and easy to talk to. His gentleness and kindness towards everyone will be forever remembered.

Love is immortal and Little Rudy will always live in our hearts. His presence will be missed by all who knew and loved him but memories of him will live on. Rest In Peace Little Rudy.
