Patrick Rodriguez

A devoted husband, a proud father, and a loyal friend, Patrick’s absence has left an immense void in the hearts of everyone who knew him.

Patrick had only recently retired, looking forward to well-earned weekends on the golf course and cherished time with his family. His life was defined by a tireless work ethic and a profound commitment to serving others. For 14 years, he served with honor in the U.S. Navy, where he discovered a passion for mentorship through his work with the Navy Sea Cadets.

That spirit of service followed him home. As a father, he stepped onto the soccer field to coach his son, eventually becoming a pillar of the local soccer community. Over the years, Patrick coached countless youths and teens, earning a reputation not just as a coach, but as a mentor and a "second dad" to many who needed one.

Patrick is preceded in death by his parents.

Patrick is survived by his loving wife Peggy Rodriguez, his son Joseph Rodriguez, and many other family and friends.

Patrick will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Thank you for your love, your prayers, and for helping us honor a man who gave so much to so many.
