We are saddened to announce the passing of Jose Rodriguez ( March 18, 1992- January 16, 2026). Jose fought a long and difficult battle but ultimately succumbed to stage 3 bone cancer. He passed with his loving wife Mireya by his side. He is survived by his wife and two young daughters, ages 4 and 8 years old, as well as his younger brother Angel.

Jose was affectionately known as "Tony" by family and friends. He was born and raised in Watsonville, California. A dedicated father, his primary focus was on his children, and his favorite pastime was being with them.

Jose's family really would appreciate your support as they prepare him for his final resting place. Any donations are gratefully accepted and will be applied to the cost of his internment. A mass celebrating his life will be held on Tuesday, January 27, 2026 at 10am at St. Patrick's Catholic Church at 721 Main Street in Watsonville, California.
