It is with regret that we announce the passing of Roberto Rodriguez, aged 73, on Wednesday, March 6, 2024. Mr. Rodriguez was a longtime resident of El Paso, a devout member of the Catholic Church, and a distinguished graduate of St. Mary's Parochial School and Bel Air High School, Class of 1969. Known affectionately as "Rod," he dedicated 34 years to serving as a respected Detention Officer and Deputy with the El Paso Sheriff's Department. He is preceded in death by his cherished parents, Teresa and Pedro Rodriguez. He is survived by his devoted wife of 49 years, Nelia Rodriguez, and his two doting children, Roberto Rodriguez, Jr. (Rosie) and Irene Sotelo (David). Roberto also leaves four grandchildren, who were his pride and joy: Iliana Sotelo, Robbie Rodriguez, Sophie Rodriguez, and Evan Sotelo. Bobby is also survived by his brothers, Luis Rodriguez, Fernando Rodriguez, and Ruben Rodriguez, as well as his sister, Alicia Gallegos. Dad, Grandpa, Husband, Brother, and Friend, even though you leave behind an immeasurable hole in our hearts, our time with you brought us joy. Seven decades does not seem like enough time with you, but we will carry your sense of humor and stories in our hearts for the rest of our lifetimes. May you serve as our Guardian Angel, guiding and protecting us, until we are reunited in God's kingdom
