James Rodriguez Serna

James pursued some college, carrying forward a steady determination and work ethic that shaped the way he approached life. Those who knew him will remember not only how diligently he worked, but also how naturally he extended kindness—often with a well-timed sense of humor that could lighten a moment and bring people together.

James was married to Christina Serna, and he held his family close throughout his life. He was preceded in death by his father, Jim V. Serna; his mother, Juanita Rodriguez; and his spouse, Christina Serna.

He is survived by his daughter, Veronica McCluskey; his son, Christopher James Serna; his son, Mark Jason Serna; and his daughter, Roxana Elizondo.

In quieter hours, James found genuine enjoyment in gardening—a simple, steady pleasure that reflected his patient care and appreciation for the everyday beauty of things. He will be remembered with respect and affection by all who had the privilege to know him.
