In Memory of Aaron Rodriguez: Support for Alicia

It's with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Aaron Rodriguez, a man whose life was rich with unique passions. He would pop in and out of peoples lifes through quiet dedication. Aaron was a beloved husband, brother and son. He was a proud Boy Scout, and commited many hours to his community.

For over 40 years, Aaron was a fixture at the Rose Parade, a testament to his incredible commitment; he'd even sleep on the curb to get the best spot! He truly loved the Olympics and was a devoted Angels fan. He enjoyed collecting T-shirts, sweatshirts and memorabilia. His connection to the Boy Scouts ran deep, and he was so proud to have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout and earning the Wood Badge. Aaron also had an incredible memory, often delighting family and friends by recalling stories and events from many years ago with vivid detail. Even in his last year, he did everything he could to join in family events. Aaron was also a dedicated member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Aaron shared a beautiful life with his beloved wife, Alicia, with whom he was married for 26 years. Their bond was a cherished and private part of his life. Aaron will be greeted in heaven by many loved ones, including his dad, cousins, aunts, and uncles, who have gone before him.

As we mourn Aaron's passing, we also want to rally around Alicia during this incredibly challenging time. The emotional and financial burdens that follow a loss like this can be overwhelming.

We've created this GoFundMe to provide financial support to Alicia as she navigates this next chapter. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference and allow Alicia to focus on healing and remembering Aaron rather than worrying about immediate financial pressures.

Your kindness and generosity are deeply appreciated. Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with others who knew and loved Aaron or who simply wish to offer support.
