Rodolfo "Rudy" Lopez Chacon

Rudy was 90 years old, born on June 18, 1929 in Chandler, Arizona. He worked for 33 years at Cudahy Bar-S as a butcher. In his retirement, he loved to joke with his late wife Josie, tend to his yard, watch "old westerns", and make his delicious frijoles.

Rudy began and ended each day with a smile while enjoying a good cup of coffee. Tata Rudy, who has 41 grandchildren, 68 great grandchildren, and 6 great-great grandchildren, loved to play his guitar outside while enjoying his family who came to visit weekly.

Rudy is preceded in death by his parents, Raquela and Santiago Chacon, his wife of 65 years, Josie (Maldonado) Chacon, and his sons Rudy L. Chacon Jr. (infant) and Joe Moreno (Cecilia) - a Vietnam Veteran.

Rudy is survived by his brother Pete Chacon, many loving relatives, and his 12 children: Sherrie Duarte, Juanita Chacon, Rudy M. Chacon, Lita Bejarano, Aurora Bustos (Sam), Alex Chacon, Elizabeth Avila (Carlos), Susan Cienfuegos (Greg), Elena Mannheimer, Estella Chacon, Mark Chacon, and Adrian Chacon (Courtney).
