Lucio Rodriguez known to us as a kind, smart and loving father. Devout to his faith. Supportive to his children and supportive to his wife Belem. He enjoyed fishing, crab fishing, playing with his dogs and going out to the beach. He also enjoyed watching football (Go Packers!), soccer and other sports too. At one point, he also enjoyed weight training in his early forties and kept in good shape. He worked on cars, trucks, semi's and was a mechanic for many years. He went to study diesel engines and learned how to repair them as it led him to open up his own business in Mansfield, TX on the old hwy 1187 and Web rd around 1983. It was called Louie's Truck and Auto Repair. After some 10 or more years of working on vehicles at his shop, he returned to his hometown of Brownsville where he would live out the rest of his days with his loving wife Belem. He was kind, compassionate, and enjoyed intellectual conversations.
Our Dad was a great father. Some of the lessons we learned from him were owed to the discipline he instilled in us that developed our morals which made us better people, not only for ourselves but to teach the next generation , our children. Things like, throwing the trash out for your neighbor without taking a dollar for the favor. Not taking something that doesn't belong to you even when no one is around. Watch what's around you, you can learn a lot by just watching. And one of my favorite's GWP -God Will Provide, which is something he would live by ,throughout his life, as his faith in God was very strong. He was a man of his word. Never made a promise he couldn't keep. But he always encouraged us to be wise and do the right thing. We love you dad, and you will be missed. Until we meet again.
