Tino was a devoted Christian & Pastor of the Christian Church La Gloria de Jehova. More than anything in the world, he loved to spread the word of God to all who would listen. He always had a story to tell about his life. His testimony was special. He lived a life filled with joy, excitement, happiness, strength & wisdom. He followed his calling.

He loved American Football & his favorite team was the Chicago Bears, you would almost always see him dressed in Bear’s clothes. He was also a lover of soccer & loved watching his teams Cruz Azul & México.

Tino’s favorite color was red & he would've preferred the guests not to wear black for his funeral. He looked at death as a celebration of life & a celebration of the entrance to the glory of God in heaven.

Tino loved his family & always enjoyed spending time with them & was especially proud to have been able to meet & spend time with his cherished grandchildren.

Please keep the family in your thoughts & prayers during this difficult time. Remember, I Love You: When tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not here to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes

Filled with tears for me. I wish so much you would not cry, The way you did today, While thinking of the little things,

We did not get to say. I know how much you love me, As much as I love you, And every time you think of me,

I know you'll miss me too. When tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we are far apart, For every time you think of me,

I'm right there in your heart. ______________________________________________________________________________________

FLORENTINO A. RODRÍGUEZ, conocido por sus seres queridos como Tino, vivió 67 maravillosos años de vida y falleció el 16 de febrero de 2024. Su batalla con graves problemas médicos en los últimos años mostró su valentía para enfrentar los desafíos de la vida con una sonrisa. A pesar del dolor, aún así pudo ser feliz y mostró todo su amor y se mantuvo en su fe con la fuerza de Dios hasta el final.

Deja atrás a muchos seres queridos, incluidos numerosos primos, amorosos sobrinos y sobrinas, una hermana, cuñados y cuñadas, hermanos y hermanas en Cristo y muchos amigos que conoció a lo largo de su vida.

Tino fue un cristiano devoto y el pastor de la Iglesia Cristiana La Gloria de Jehová. Más que nada en el mundo, le encantaba predicar la palabra de Dios a todos los que escucharán. Siempre tenía una historia que contar sobre su vida. Su testimonio fue especial. Vivió una vida llena de alegría, emoción, felicidad, fuerza y sabiduría. Siguió su llamado que Dios le dio.

Le encantaba el fútbol americano y su equipo favorito eran los Chicago Bears, casi siempre lo veías vestido con ropa de los Bears. También era un amante del fútbol y le encantaba ver a sus equipos Cruz Azul y México. También le encantaba viajar el mundo. Visitó muchos lugares a lo largo de su vida.

El color favorito de Tino era el rojo y habría preferido que los invitados no se vestiran de negro para su funeral. Vio a la muerte como una celebración de la vida y una celebración de la entrada a la gloria de Dios en el cielo.

Tino amaba a su familia y siempre le gustaba pasar tiempo con ellos y estaba especialmente orgulloso de haber podido conocer y pasar tiempo con sus queridos nietos.

Por favor, mantenga a la familia en sus pensamientos y oraciones durante este momento difícil. Recuerda, te quiero: Cuando mañana empiece sin mí, Y no estoy aquí para ver, Si el sol sale y encuentra tus ojos

Lleno de lágrimas para mí. Desearía tanto que no lloraras, De la forma en que lo hiciste hoy, Mientras piensas en las cosas,

Que no nos logramos decir. Sé lo mucho que me amas, Por lo mucho que te amé, Y cada vez que piensas en mí,

Sé que tú también me extrañarás. Cuando mañana empiece sin mí, No pienses que lejos estaré Porque cada vez que piensas en mí,

Ahí en tu corazón estoy.
