Juan Ramon Rodriguez, 84, of Miami, FL died December 13, 2025 with his family by his side. Juan, lovingly known as Ramonin by most of his friends and family, was born on January 21, 1941 in Guantanamo, Cuba to Ramon Maria Rodriguez and Juana de la Mercedes Suarez. He is survived by his two children Karina Rodriguez-Matzen of Boynton Beach, FL and Ramon Rodriguez of Miami, FL.; and by his sister Rosario Lemus, of Miami, FL. He  is also survived by his five grandchildren: Gabi, John Raymond, Izzy, Nicole, and Juliet.

Juan was a political prisoner in Cuba and loved this country for the freedom it gave him and his family. He was very involved in the municipalities of Cuba in exile societies and was the President of the municipality of Guantánamo in exile society for many years.  Juan was an avid reader, a history buff, a lover of baseball, a great joke teller, and, above all, a dedicated father and loving grandfather.
