Frank Joe Rodriquez

Frank Joe Rodriquez, 69, entered into eternal rest on September 11, 2026, surrounded by his loving family. Frank was born on October 4, 1956, in Brawley, California, to John Rodriquez and Amalia Carmelo. He was a hardworking, loving, humble, and dedicated family man who always put those he loved first. In his early years, his passion for classic automobiles led him to serve as the proud President of the Enchantment Car Club, where he actively participated in lowrider culture and built lifelong friendships. His love of automobiles grew into a distinguished 25-year career with Ford Motor Company. His work took him to several countries, providing wonderful opportunities for Frank and his family to travel the world and experience new places together. When his sons were young, Frank coached their soccer teams, serving as an exceptional mentor and setting an example of leadership they carry with them today. An avid sports fan, he proudly followed the Raiders, Dodgers, and Lakers. Above all, Frank loved being outdoors—whether camping, fishing, or grilling for his family. Known as a master storyteller, nothing brought him greater joy than gathering his loved ones together, sharing a good laugh, and making cherished memories with his granddaughters. Frank was preceded in death by his parents, John and Amalia Rodriquez; and his siblings, Pauline Easley, Jenny Heald, Bernadine Lopez, and Josephine Celaya. He is survived by his beloved wife of 46 years, Martha Ann Rodriquez of Harlingen, Texas; his three sons, Frank John Rodriquez (Amy) of Muncie, Indiana, Phillip Rodriquez (Monica) of Harlingen, Texas, and James Rodriquez (Lisa) of San Antonio, Texas; and his four cherished granddaughters, Evie Crispin of Peoria, Illinois, and Abigail Rodriquez, Alexis Rodriquez, and Aleena Rodriquez, all of Harlingen, Texas. He is also survived by his two sisters, Frances Boatman of Rialto, CA., Mary Herrera (Orlando) of Ardmore, AL., and numerous nieces and nephews. The memorial visitation will take place on Saturday, September 19, 2026, from 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m., with a rosary to be recited at 3:30 p.m. at the Rudy Garza Chapel of Angels in Harlingen Frank leaves behind a lasting legacy of devotion, hard work, and deep family love. The lessons he taught, the guidance he gave, and the memories he created will forever remain in the hearts of his wife, children, grandchildren, and all who knew him. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Aurora House Foundation, 2646 W. 18th Street, Weslaco, Texas 78596, 956-973-9690.
