A man with a kind‑hearted spirit, Rodolfo had many friends who loved him for his joy and warmth. He loved music, loved to dance, and was often the life of the party. He was always happy and always ready to lift spirits. In the same loving way he treated people, he also opened his heart to his pets, caring for each one as a cherished family member.
He is survived by his children: Rodolfo, Alfonso, Andrea, Alejandro, and Amber; ten grandchildren; and one great‑grandchild.
Rodolfo will be deeply missed by all who knew him; his family, his friends, and all who were touched by his laughter and the kindness of his heart.
