Jair Rodriguez

Jair Armando Rodriguez, age 38, departed this earthly life and entered into eternal rest on Sunday, March 10, 2024, in Pharr, Texas. He was born on August 23rd, 1985 in El Paso, Texas, to Armando and Maria Ivonne Rodriguez. Jair was a loving husband to his wife, Brenda Peña Amaya, and father to his children; Alize Rodriguez, Jair Rodriguez Jr., Emery Rodriguez and Esmeralda Dagda. He is survived by his siblings Miriam and Adrian Rodriguez.

Jair was an avid car enthusiast, spending countless hours repairing vehicles and sometimes doing what he enjoyed the most, painting. He had a wonderful heart and never did mind sharing his knowledge with fellow enthusiasts. Jair was always pushing his kids to give a hand while he worked so they could learn a thing or two. He was recognized by his colleagues as being a “true master of his craft” and some others liked to call him a “Beast” for his efficient hard work in his career. He leaves behind a community of friends who shared his passion, and by many extended friends and family who will miss him dearly. He touched so many hearts with his outgoing personality, never leaving a soul behind. Jair knew what it was to feel left out and never wanted anyone in his presence to feel that way. Jair will be remembered for his kind heart and his unwavering love for his family.

 He was always making sure all the kids were having a good time because it made him smile to see others happy. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him and never forgotten for all the hugs, kisses, acts of care, and love he gave. His loving presence leaves us behind on this earth, and it is painful to process that he has departed. That alone, is a life lesson that we are not here forever. Life is too short to live with regret, grudges, or hate towards others. Life is beautiful and made to live it, not survive it and no matter what happens, we have to keep going and never stop showing our love or lose empathy for those who cross our path, as we never know what someone else might be carrying within. May this leave us an opportunity to let go of the bad and keep the good, as what you keep in your heart is what we give. He would always say “we are better together” so as we prepare to give him a farewell, let’s remember him always with the beautiful memories… We all love you so much Jair and you will never be forgotten! 

To celebrate his life, a visitation will be held from 10:00 to 11:00 am, Thursday, March 21, 2024 with a Rosary to commence at 11:00 am followed by the Funeral Mass at 12:00 pm at Queen of Peace Catholic Church. 

Services are entrusted to Sunset Funeral Home-West, 480 N. Resler Dr.
