It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Juan D. Rodriguez, who left this world on March 29, 2025, at the age of 78. Born on October 25, 1946, Juan lived a life marked by service, dedication, and love for his family and community. Juan proudly served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War, where he rose to the rank of Sergeant. His commitment to his country was a testament to his character, and he carried the values of honor and bravery throughout his life. After his military service, Juan transitioned into a fulfilling career as a technician with AT&T, where he dedicated many years to serving the Downtown Los Angeles area. His work was not just a job; it was a way for him to connect with the community he cherished. Juan was the beloved son of Juan M.

As we remember Juan, we celebrate a life well-lived—a life dedicated to service, family, and community. His legacy will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know him. Tio Juan will be deeply missed, but his spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those who loved him.
