Ricardo Rodriguez Hurtado

Ricardo was born in Saginaw, Michigan. During his lifetime, he worked installing tiles, working as a Maintenance Supervisor, assisting with home renovations. Ricardo was always working with his hands at work or home, always a busy bee. When something was broken, he would fix it or watch videos to make it work. He also enjoyed riding his bicycle to get around for quick errands or for exercise. Although he was very slim his entire life, he would exercise and encourage others to do the same. His passion was reading his bible in the morning, writing scriptures daily in his notebooks, also journaling his tasks for the day. He enjoyed baking from scratch and his favorite snack was eating ice cream. He was able to travel, such as New Mexico, California, Dallas and Victoria, Texas. He made many friends and helped others without expecting anything in return. Even when times were tough, he helped others. In his later years, he was practicing playing guitar and drums to join the church band at Fe Y Esperanza Church in Port La Vaca.
