Heriberto Rodriguez

Heriberto "Eddie" Rodriguez, a beloved resident of Veguita, New Mexico, passed away peacefully on March 10, 2026, at the age of 84. To those who knew him, Eddie was more than just a friend or neighbor; he was a "Jack of all trades" who lived by the belief that there was nothing he couldn't do.

A man of deep Catholic faith and an optimistic spirit, Eddie was known for his infectious laugh and his "straight-up" way of being. He was the undisputed head of his family, a role he took to heart with every word and action. Whether he was working in his yard, tending to his chickens, or following his passion for boxing, Eddie approached life with an energy that was impossible to ignore.

He found great joy in the simple and the spirited—from playing dominoes and singing to dancing the night away to Spanish Cumbias and Rancheras. His favorite memories often involved his large family, including trips to the casino and his legendary habit of having chocolate ready for his grandkids.

Eddie is reunited in heaven with his beloved wife, Socorro Rodriguez; his son, Marco Antonio Rodriguez; his parents, Elizar and Albina; and his four siblings.
His legacy of hard work and joy lives on through his surviving family: his children, Beto (Rita) Rodriguez, Sonia (Keith) Wright, Noelia Rodriguez, Debbie Rodriguez (Erik Ruiz), and Luis Rodriguez. He also leaves behind a remarkable legacy of 46 grandchildren and 54 great-grandchildren, all of whom will carry his stories forward.

He will be remembered as a man who loved to work, loved to dance, and above all, loved his family.
