Carlos Manuel Rodriguez

In loving memory of Carlos Manuel Rodriguez who passed away on the morning of Thursday,
August 21, 2025 at the young age of 63. This ever-giving son, brother, uncle, great uncle, great
great uncle, and friend was a man of strength, courage, and love that lived to inspire and
brighten the life of all who knew him.
He was born on October 13, 1961 to the late Jose Rodriguez and Margot Trujillo in Cuba. At the
age of 2, Carlos migrated to New York with his parents, sisters, and brother in 1964 and made
America their new homeland. He later moved to Florida in 1974. Carlos graduated from, and
was still very involved and connected to, Miami Beach Senior High School class of 1979. He
loved to travel and has never stopped being an active member of his communities where he
lived. He was a business owner who was passionate and put his heart into everything he did
and everyone he knew. He is described by his closest friends and colleagues as "a man of
honor who lived by service" and is known for his laughter, warmth, and joy with everyone he
met. Life for his family and friends will undoubtedly never be the same without his incomparable
hugs and beautiful smile.
Carlos is survived by his sister: Mayra, brother: Jose Anotonio, nieces: Sandra (Jorge),
Margarita (Luis), and Natalie (Paul), nephews: Steve, Sebastian (Liz), and Nicholas (Briana),
great nephews: Jorge Anthony (Bryce), Ricardo, Giovanni and Milo, and great great niece:
Genesis Sofia.
He will forever be in our hearts for he leaves a legacy of love.
May he rest in the Lord's eternal peace.
