Richard Joe Rodriguez

Richard leaves behind his lifetime companion Lupe, his daughter Marcia, his son Carlos (and wife Janet), and his granddaughter, Carla. He is also survived by his parents Phyllis & Lupe Rodriguez, sisters Mary Castaneda (Rudy), and Joanne Rodriguez; and brothers Roy Rodriguez (Mildred) and Ronald Rodriguez (Maggie); as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Richard was a Colorado native born in Fort Collins on November 30th, 1959. He worked in concrete and construction for more than 45 years. He was a hardworking man and had a keen eye for detail. Rich has so many talents. He was a carpenter, a woodworker, a painter, and a welder. He loved working with his hands and his brain and was always thinking of things he could make. He enjoyed doing home improvement projects, watching sports & the news on television, and going to the movies with his family. He loved to fish and spend time relaxing in his backyard. More than anything, Rich loved his family and enjoyed spending time with them. He will be dearly missed.

Per his wishes, no services will be held. Treasured memories of Richard and words of condolence for his family are welcome at resthavencolorado.com.
