Pete Rodriguez

Pete Rodriguez, born on July 16, 1955, passed away on October 2, 2026.

Pete will be remembered as a very kind and humble man, someone who would give the shirt off his back or anything for someone in need. His generosity and gentle spirit left a lasting impression on the people who knew and loved him.

A carpenter by trade, Pete also expressed himself through quiet and beautiful artistry. In a humble way, he created meaningful handcrafted pieces, including canes and walking sticks, often brilliantly finished and polished with inlaid turquoise and other precious gems. His talent extended even further into making custom bolo ties for friends and family, gifts of care that reflected both his skill and his thoughtfulness.

Among the moments he cherished most were the times spent with his kids and grandchildren and especially family reunions gathered, with family from Texas, California and North Carolina. Those occasions brought him great joy and will remain treasured memories for those who shared them with him.

Pete’s life was marked by craftsmanship, generosity, and love for family. He will be deeply missed and warmly remembered.
