Instead of flowers or other donations, we invite you to honor his memory in a more lasting way - by helping restore the coastal lands he loved.

Francisco cherished the great outdoors, especially the wild beauty of South Texas. His love for the land and its wildlife was central to who he was. To honor his legacy, we are raising funds to restore and protect coastal prairie and wetland habitats at the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge—a place that reflects his deep appreciation for nature and commitment to conservation.

Where Your Donation Will Go

Your contributions will directly support Friends of Laguna Atascosa and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in their mission to restore and protect this refuge.

These efforts revive critical wildlife habitat and ensure long-term conservation for future generations.

Laguna Atascosa is home to some of the most diverse and threatened wildlife in Texas, including ocelots, migratory birds, and coastal species that depend on these lands. As natural habitats face increasing pressures, conservation efforts like this are increasingly critical to protecting these fragile ecosystems.

Join Us in His Legacy

If you are unable to contribute financially, sharing this campaign with others who care about conservation is just as impactful.

We are grateful beyond words for your support, love, and generosity during this time. We visited the restoration efforts this week and look forward to sharing updates and pictures on how your contributions are making an impact.

With gratitude,

The Rodriguez Family
