Jesse Rodriguez Jr.'s Obituary
Jesse Rodriguez Jr., 36, passed away on March 27, 2020 in Dallas, TX. He was born on March 22, 1984 to parents Jesse Rodriguez and Rosa Guzmán in Oak Cliff, TX. Jesse was a selfless brother to D.J., Jeremy, and Theodore, a loving father to Ana Marie, Joe Angel, and Xavier, a wonderful stepfather to Josiah Andrew Salinas and Joe Angel Salinas, and an affectionate grandfather to Jessica Andrea Salinas.
Jesse loved to watch the Dallas Cowboys, listen to rap music (e.g., 2Pac), and enjoy time with his friends and family. He will forever be devoted to his significant other, Valerie Buentello, and he will always be appreciative of his stepfather Donny Guzmán.
If Jesse were to magically reappear as you read this, he would probably be laughing. While one of his tattoos read “1 Life 2 Live,” his family and friends are certain that Jesse has begun his new life in heaven.
