Martin Rodriguez-Lopez, 97, entered eternal rest before Our Lord and Savior on Friday, October 2, 2020 surrounded by his loving family.

Martin was born in San Luis Potosi, Mexico and resided in Laredo, Texas since 1966. He was a strong and supportive father, a migrant worker and an employee of ‘Miracle Candle Company’ for over 25 years.

He is preceded in death by his wife of 62 years, Virginia Torres-Rodriguez, daughter Alicia Rodriguez, parents Alfonso and Maria de Jesus Lopez Rodriguez and seven siblings.

He is survived by his children, Raymundo Rodriguez (Inez Perez), Esperanza Rodriguez, Alfonso (Maria†) Rodriguez, Martin Rodriguez, Maria Elena (Ramiro) Hernandez, Yolanda (Jose Rodriguez) Escobedo, Victor Rodriguez, Alberto Rodriguez; grandchildren, Reymundo (Veronica), Eduardo, Oscar (Anna), Claudia (German), Sergio (Jessica), Ricardo (Patricia), Veronica, Nadia (Ramon), Mariela, Graciela (Javier), Jorge (Brenda), Ruben (Selina), Cynthia (Preston), Ramiro Jr., and Monica (J.T.). In addition, Martin was also blessed with 35 great-grandchildren, 2 great-great grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Martin was a soulful individual who enjoyed spending weekends surrounded by family playing Loteria and recounting stories of his long-lived life. Our family wishes to extend heartfelt gratitude for our brother, Victor, who dedicated a great portion of his life to tirelessly and selflessly caring for our father.
