Eddie was born on April 17, 1949 in Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, Mexico to Jose B. Rodriguez and Josefina Esparza. Eddie was an amazing Husband, Father, Grandfather, and Great-Grandfather. He was an exceedingly kind man, who would always put his family first. He enjoyed fishing, camping, hunting, and spending time outdoors. He was an all-around craftsman with a creative mind. He enjoyed movies about hunting and animals especially horses, and he loved watching his Dallas Cowboys. He was the happiest when we had family time for a holiday or for a weekend cookout. He loved his family so much that anytime he wanted to express it to us he could hardly hold back the tears. The love he shared with the family is what will continue to keep us together. Pops you will be missed, We Love You. He is survived by his wife Maria “Nellie” Rodriguez; four sons, Eddie Rodriguez and his wife Gloria of Deming, NM; Daniel Rodriguez and his companion Lucenda Perales of Deming, NM; Gilbert Rodriguez and his companion Dwan Alvarado of Las Cruces, NM and Michael Rodriguez and his wife Maggie of Las Cruces, NM; two daughters, Lisa Rodriguez of Deming, NM and Katrina Altamirano and her husband Leonard of Morenci, AZ; two brothers, Jose Luis Rodriguez and his wife Vera of Douglas, AZ and Freddie Rodriguez and his wife Carmen of Deming, NM; four sisters, Hortencia Villegas of Deming, NM; Mary Angel Prieto of Deming, NM; Rosemary Guerrero and her husband Teodoro of Las Cruces, NM and Hilda Terrazas and her husband Carlos of Bayard, NM; fifteen grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
