Help The Rodriguez Family in Their Time of Need

We are heartbroken to share the passing of Daniel Rodriguez, lovingly known as JR, at the age of 69 on December 18, 2024.

JR was a devoted husband of over 45 years and a proud father, who tragically lost his son just last year. Known for his kindness, JR was a familiar face in the neighborhood, always helping others with repairs, chores, or simply offering a friendly conversation during his daily walks with his dog. He was a proud veteran, a proud Puerto Rican, and a true New Yorker.

Despite battling heart disease and undergoing a successful surgery in September, JR faced severe complications in recent months, including bleeding ulcers, organ failure, and strokes. Sadly, he passed away without life insurance, leaving his family with significant financial burdens for his funeral and burial costs.

Any support for his family during this difficult time would mean so much. JR was deeply loved, and his generous spirit will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace.
