Miguel Rodriguez, of Silver Spring, Maryland, passed away on August 7, 2022 at Shady Grove Medical Center. Miguel was born in Zacatecoluca, El Salvador to Adelina Cruz de Rodriguez and Miguel Rodriguez on November 1, 1946 and was the eldest of 10 siblings. He attended Colegió Centroamérica in San Salvador. He married Yanira Pineda in 1970 and they had two children, Michelle Rodriguez born on May 31, 1973 and Javier Rodriguez born on October 15, 1977. Miguel and Yanira later divorced before he came to the United States in 1986 in search of new opportunities to better provide for his children. In 1991 he met Ana Valladares and her daughter Claudia Rodriguez born on December 25, 1979. Miguel and Ana married on January 19, 1996 but not before welcoming their daughter, Monica Rodriguez born on September 24, 1994. Together they made up a happy blended family. Miguel was a hard worker who never liked working for anyone other than himself. He ran his own construction company and enjoyed pursuing many other types of business ventures. He was a devout Christian who attended the Seventh Day Adventist church. He taught and modeled to his family the importance of having a relationship with God. Outside of work and Church, he loved spending time with his entire family, gathering every weekend with his siblings and their families after church. These gatherings would always lead well into the night and it was a tradition that he looked most forward to every Saturday. He loved his wife and children more than words describe and went above and beyond to show it. Miguel Rodriguez is survived by his wife, Ana Valladares; his Children, Michelle, Javier, Claudia and Monica; grandchildren, Luis Diego, Melissa, Sebastian, Matthew, Nathan, and Pablo jr; his siblings and many nieces and nephews. Visitation will begin at 5:00pm on Tuesday, August 16, 2022 at Washington Spanish SDA Church at 12604 New Hampshire Ave, Silver Spring, Maryland 20904; where the funeral service will begin at 6:40pm, followed by refreshments and snacks in the cafeteria. ~~ Miguel Rodríguez, de Silver Spring, Maryland, falleció el 7 de agosto de 2022 en el Centro Médico Shady Grove.

Miguel era un gran trabajador al que nunca le gustó trabajar para nadie más que para sí mismo. Dirigió su propia empresa de construcción y disfrutó persiguiendo muchos otros tipos de empresas comerciales. Era un cristiano devoto que asistía a la iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día. Enseñó y modeló a su familia la importancia de tener una relación con Dios. Fuera del trabajo y la Iglesia, le encantaba pasar tiempo con toda su familia, reuniéndose todos los fines de semana con sus hermanos y sus familias después de la Iglesia. Estas reuniones siempre duraban hasta bien entrada la noche y era una tradición que él esperaba con ansias todos los sábados. Amaba a su esposa e hijos más de lo que las palabras describen e hizo todo lo posible para demostrarlo. A Miguel Rodríguez le sobreviven su esposa, Ana Valladares; sus Hijos, Michelle, Javier, Claudia y Mónica; nietos, Luis Diego, Melissa, Sebastian, Matthew, Nathan y Pablo jr; sus hermanos y muchas sobrinas y sobrinos.
