Antonio Rodriguez, a beloved member of the Davie, Florida community, peacefully passed away on May 11th, 2024, at the age of 77. Born on September 28, 1946, in Santiago, Cuba, Antonio was the son of the late Luis R. Rodriguez and Edna Gomez.

Among his many passions, Antonio had a profound love for embarking on cruises and showering affection upon all animals, particularly his beloved dogs.

Antonio is reunited in eternity with his brother, Luis Rodriguez, and his sisters, Hope Castillo and Edna Pages. He is survived by his devoted wife, Diana, and his children: Antonio Rodriguez Jr. and his wife Sandra, Mayte Aponte and her husband Hector, Luis Rodriguez and his wife Emely, and Jonathan Rodriguez.
