I will never forget the day I met you, Daya, Marcos and me went to help you when you had your red sports car 🚗. You were stranded, we went to go help you and you were walking around in your wife beater. We had many memories, club outings, you were a good dancer, so sweet and always helpful. Memories at Panchos were awesome. No matter the years that went by, if I called, you answered my silly calls and questions. You truly loved  your wife and baby boy Alexander. Rest in heaven. I miss and love you my friend 🙏🏻💔😢✝️😇

My family and I send condolences for the untimely and loss of Rudy. May his soul Rest In Peace. 

Hard to believe it when I heard the news. You’ll diffinately be missed! Always had a smile, laughing and always willing to help. You valued everyone. Still remember in my earlier days at PFG having a rough time as a driver and you willing and more than happy to come out and help me. Had no problem working your tail off with me to take care of things. That’s what made you so special was you always willing to help and take care of others. God truly gained another Angel. 

Rudy was such a delight and I had the privelage to work with him and get to know him, if only briefly.  He  was one of the nicest, most considerate client I have ever had.  God bless you Rudy.  Your family is in my prayers.

Fito, papo I still can't believe you not here, I still can't accept the fact that I won't get the chance to speak to you or even see you again. Gone to soon. I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to grow up with and was able to have you as my uncle. I will cherish my memories of you always and the bond that me, you, Christina, Robert Solis and my brothers had, from childhood and as an adult. Papo we start from the bottom and we came up. God bless your son papo, God bless the family.God bless you. Love you and for ever miss you, til we meet again, tell abuelo Tuto I miss and love him too. Peace

Rudy you will be missed by all of us that had the privilege to have met you and counted you as our friend.  Always such a gentleman and a great  friend .  Praying for your wife and son.  May God give them strength to keep your legacy alive.  
Until we meet again! RIP. 

The last memory I shared with you was playing dominoes at Ileana and Danny’s and you and I teaming up in complete domination of los viejos! Jackie and I we’re trying to potty train Andrew Jr. but you still had him on your lap and narrowly avoided getting pissed on 😂! Every time we saw each other it was always great times and great laughs. I will always regret not flying up to Atlanta with the family so we could hang out! You will be missed brother, still can’t believe your gone. Hope to see you again some day, go with God!

There are only a few people in this world that carries light with them wherever they go, Rudy was one of them. Always ready with a hug, a soft answer and a quick smile of encouragement. He was so loved, and will be missed by many. Rest in peace my friend, may your kindness always be an example of how we all should live. 

RIP. Que Dios lo tenga en su gloria y brinde consuelo a su familia.

Rudy you will surely be missed by so many people and for all the reasons many have expressed thus far.  It was a pleasure to know and work with you.  I will miss you popping into my office to say hello most Fridays. Until we meet again my friend. 

May God bring comfort to your wife, son and entire family during this difficult time and always. 

Rudy is one of a kind . He was a great Son, Husband, Father, Brother and Uncle..  Everyone that knew him loved being around him..  He was my little cousin I love him and will miss him very much. I pray God will give his family the strength and peace to go on.  Rest In Peace mi Primo 

What can I say of my cousin Rudy that has not already been said .
Our family has lost another piece of our heart . I was so happy to see you a couple of months ago . I was so happy to see Wendy and the baby . 
I won't forget your smile when I showed you pictures of dad as a young man . You were so proud to be a Diaz .
We lost you too soon , but I know the love you had in your heart will Remain with us .
We love you .
Tu prima Lisi y tío Pablo.

Once you told me about your father.  That one day he took you to the backyard of your house and spent the afternoon with you, teaching you how to clean and maintain the family pool.  He said “son you need to learn how to do this, because I may not be around one day, and you’ll have to take care of your family”.  He passed shortly after that, and that afternoon became a defining moment in your life. You had to grow up fast, and you succeeded in the most spectacular way... you fulfilled your potential, and I KNOW that made your father proud.  The only solace I find is that you will be reunited with him. May you be engulfed in his love. But I will miss you sooooo much !! May the Lord bring peace to your family, Wendy, and Alexander. 
I love you.

Rudy my dear friend and brother,
I was blessed not only to grow up with Rudy but to share a professional career with him. Through the years we had gone our respected ways but never left touch, just like it was yesterday. Rudy always had the answer or the solution in some cases. He exemplified what a true friend is and what a gentleman was.  He taught me more life lessons that I could talk about today, but the fact is he gave me life and motivation to be who and what I am today. Rudy Diaz, thank you for everything I am gonna miss the heck out you! Love you always and forever superstar! 

Unreal.  People always speak kindly when someone pass, but in Rudy's case it's all true.  Truly a light when he walked into the office.  Greeted everyone by name & maybe a high five lol.  Your presence will be missed by your family, friends & those who knew you...PFG family included.


Everybody, I mean EVERYBODY loves Rudy...there wasn't a person who was not touched by his generous, kind spirit...a bright, fun, loving, happy friend & most proud father and husband...Kenny and I are better for knowing him.  The unthinkable loss of him for Wendy and all who loved him breaks our hearts.  Hoping his amazing love carries you thru this time...Love-Melissa and Kenny Alfonso

He was a great person. Always sharing a cheerful spirit and helped me be a little bit more human. He always had a smile on his face and always let me know he cared. He was a friend and a brother to me. He will always be remembered. 

Rudy was a person you could speak with about anything.  He helped my son thru a very hard time.  I will always be grateful. 
We will always miss you, 
Raúl, Marlen, Raúl, Chris and Victoria 
Rest In Peace cousin 

Rudy, my friend, you are missed today and will always be. Such a great, kind human being! You always made to sure smile and say hello to everyone. It was an honor working for you and getting to know you.  May God's grace and love surround your family and friends in their time of need and always. My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the Diaz family. I'm so sorry for your loss. Rest in peace Rudy. 

Sincerely,

Edith  Ponce

Even though I didn't know Rudy as long as most, he definitely inspired me to do my best and reach for my goals in the company. He'd told me that if I'd ever get into sales he would take me under his wing and mentor me so I could be successful in the trade. 
All I could think Tuesday evening was telling him about my day out on the field and how excited I was for the future. You'll truly be missed my friend! Thoughts and prayers to the entire Diaz family! 

Words cannot describe the void in the universe that is left with Rudy's unexpected and tragic passing!  We lost one of the great souls of all time...unparalleled passion for people! #RIPRudy I plan on honoring you by making sure to take care of someone else daily!  The majority of my best PFG stories start with..."So, Rudy & I..."  Love you brother!  Always have...always will! My thoughts and prayers are with the Diaz family.

Rudy was one of those guys that everyone knew and loved. He was always willing to help or give advice. He loved to hug it out. I think he felt that we were a family, and that we were all brothers and sisters. 

We spent some time together at the last Roll Off, and I saw first hand what kind of husband and father he was. He loved his wife and child more than anything in life. He spewed confidence without arrogance. He offered his expertise without the expectation of anything in return.

I once helped him recover something he worked on for three hours and thought that he had lost. When I recovered it, he was so appreciative that he wanted to take my whole family out for dinner. That's what kind of person he was, and he will be truly missed. 

The neighborhood in heaven just got better. I will miss him, and always remember my friend. He touched so many lives, and continues to touch us all via our memories of a great man, father, husband, son, and friend.

Rest in peace Rudy ...

You were always smiling and always willing to help out in any way that you could.  Such an amazing  spirit. You inspired so many of us to do better.  Your presence will be greatly missed.   

 Rudy you were a good guy and will be missed....here and in everyone's life you touched.  
 My thoughts and prayers are with your family. 

Rudy we will miss you so much, you brought such joy to our lives and all of those around you. I still remember your first day with our company, the excitement you had about beginning your new career and the energy and commitment you had that day. That same passion carried on every day. You touched so many peoples lives, brought love and smiles to all of us. I will always remember the great times we had on the many trips we were on together. You are in good hands now, the good lord will take care of you and look over your beautiful family. 

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Diaz family,  we will always be here for you.     

My friend, I still remember history class with you at Lakeside you were part of some of my favorite high school memories  and although I didn't get to see you often I always remembered you with lots of love. Seeing your pictures of your family and the amazing adult you became always made me so happy for you.  I'm so thankful I got to talk to you last year. All my prayers for you, your family and that little one that looks just like you. This world is going to miss you! 

Rudy was such a good friend to me. Always helpful, even though he was extremely busy. He may have been the hardest working person I have ever known. We shared many good times on PFG trips and he always had a smile and a hug for me. I will truly miss him and have been praying for his family since I learned this tragic news. Thank you for being a bright light in my life and the lives of others that you came in contact with.  PFG will be honored to continue to carry your torch.  May God's grace be sufficient in the days ahead.

Jimmy


Rudy, 
You were my friend and I will sorely miss you. I would do anything for you my Brother. You had an infectious personality, the reason you were so good in Sales.
You built relationships with everyone.....I will always remember your heart. God Bless you and your family. I will be out of town for your services but your family  will be in my thoughts and prayers. My wife said "where are her Avocados" ? We will get them another day (a 7 year joke). I wish you would stop by my office one more time my Brother !!! Eric Brown your PFG friend

We will miss your happy spirit, big hugs and welcoming smile. RIP Rodolfito. 

Rudy,

Fly high and free, will miss my morning "Carlito", you have touched us all.
Our Prayers and thoughts are with your family.

Rudy, you were a great man and a great friend.  You will be deeply missed!!  My prayers are with you and your family.  May God bless you all.

It is very difficult to find the words to express my grief for the loss of Rudy and even more difficult to attempt to encapsulate such a huge presence and dynamic personality as his. His entire work family at PFG Miltons is heartbroken and our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Rudy had a way of touching people at every level of our company and making each person feel important, loved and cared for. He approached his customers and his business in the same way. I have never known anyone more successful at his trade and the records he set will stand the test of time. I will miss my friend and will cherish the memories of good times spent together for the rest of my life. May God bless the Diaz family.

Rudy you were always filled with positive energy anytime I seen you, it was a pleasure getting to know you. You will truly be missed & not forgotten. 

Rudy my man!!! I love you my  brother,  going to miss you bringing people together.  That's what you did, that gift came so natural to you and makes you unforgettable. 
Love you forever
Jose, Mymi, Mariana & Ricky Solis

The world was a better place with Rudy in it. Rest in peace my friend .

I'm really at a loss for words due to this tragic accident. You were my uncle but you were more like my brother.  I wish things didn't have to be this way. You will always be missed and loved Rudy! You have left a lot of hearts broken and have a lot of people asking why. Till I see you again.

Bro, I wont forget the times we always met up at tongue and groove almost every Wednesday and hung out at the side of the bar with our bartender Mike. Always had a good time chillen with you bro and talking about how we gotta hustle and make more money. You always bringing positive and cool vibe around everyone and making sure we were all having a good time. Thanks for the advice you gave me and the meat hook up. I last saw you Friday to get my order from you and was looking forward to having you and your family come over to see my new place and catch up. God already had plans for you  and I know you're looking over your family and friends from heaven. You will never be forgotten. Love ya bro 

Rudy was such a great guy. He lit up the room with his positive energy and happy personality. He taught me how to dance to bachata and made sure that my friends and I were always safe when we all went out. We used to eat at the restaurants weekly and he always made everyone feel at home. May he Rest In Peace. Condolences to his wife, son and family. 

So many great memories I have with Rudy!!  From hanging out in my parents basement to eating in the restaurants or chillin' at all the Cuban parties/clubs!  He was such a wonderful person!  I knew he was going to be super successful when we were in High School and he proved his success!  He was the true definition of a real man: incredible son, great husband, father, brother, and friend. I will truly miss you, Rudy, with all of my heart!! We love you!!

I'm going to miss you hermanito! I'll always remember Wednesday nights at tongue and groove back in the day, you swore you were the king salsero! I watched you grow up, turn into a man. You were a good father and husband. You were successful and humble. You will always occupy a special place in my heart, I'm going to miss you. You were one of the good guys. I'll look in on Alex, that's the sad part that he'll never know just how cool and great his dad was. Rest in peace my dear friend.
