final breath on earth and his first breath in Heaven on December 14, 2020. We
find comfort in knowing that our beloved parents, brother, and second mom Tia
Lupe welcomed him home with loving arms. Rudy was born on September 22,
1958, in Edinburg Texas. In 1964 the family moved to Woodlake, CA where Rudy
attended Woodlake schools and graduated from Woodlake High in 1976. After
high school Rudy chose to continue his education and pursue a nursing degree.
After earning his degree he spent the majority of his career in the Los Angeles
area working for various hospitals. In 2004 Rudy moved back to the Valley where
he worked as a Registered Nurse for the California Department of Corrections.
Prior to retiring Rudy enjoyed seeing and visiting various states as a traveling
nurse. Throughout his life, he had many friends who were very dear to him. He
enjoyed family barbecues, listening to Mariachi music, going to the coast, and
traveling to Mexico. Rudy was very family-oriented and left his family with
wonderful memories. He will be remembered as loving, caring, generous, and
most of all for the laughs and humor he brought us. He is preceded in death by
his parents Jose and Maria Sahagun, his brother Pepe Sahagun, and his Tia
Lupe Munguia. Rudy is survived by his siblings Hector Sahagun, Lupe Martinez,
Mary Onsurez (Oscar), Noelia Sahagun (Juan), Virginia Person (Kelly), Herminia
Valdez (Roy), Leticia Franco (Randy), Juan Sahagun (Rita), Xavier Sahagun,
Becky Sahagun (Fernando), and Richard Sahagun (Kristy). Rudy also leaves
numerous nieces, nephews and friends to carry on his memory.
Rudy's funeral mass will be held on January 29, 2021 at 10:00 am at Holy Family in Visalia, CA,
followed by a burial at the Woodlake Cemetery.
Masks and social distancing will be required.
