Funeral for Ariel Rodriguez Ayala

On September 9th, 2022, the world lost one of the most incredible humans. Ariel, the gentle giant, passed peacefully in his sleep at home due to a heart attack. He was 6 1/2 ft of pure-hearted love. He leaves behind his true love, his life partner and wife of 30 years, Maria, his children, and grandkids. He also leaves many loved ones and friends from the Manchester, Nh area, in Florida, Massachusetts, New York and the whole island of Puerto Rico. Ariel was extremely loved by many and left behind an immense void in all of our lives. His most prized possession was his family. He spent his days assuring that his family was taken care of. He loved spending time with his true friends, family, and his grandkids. He made sure to spoil his grandkids to the point that he built them a pool and put a new basketball hoop weeks before his passing. He made sure to be a constant mentor and faithful and loyal friend to many. Never would say no to anyone and was the first one to be on the way to help in anything. Over the last 23 years, he enjoyed every Friday and Saturday with his Stange Brew Tavern family protecting the door and ensuring every patron was safe. He also found joy with his F.W. Webb family and biker crews during the weekdays. Ariel had a life filled with love and true joy. May we remember his calm soul and warm embrace.
