Charlie Rodriguez

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Charlie Rodriguez, 59, on October 27th. Born on August 27, 1965, in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, Charlie was a devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather, grandson, brother, and friend.

Charlie was a faithful servant of God and a man of many talents with a heart full of love. His charm and humor made him a light in the lives of all who knew him. A gifted musician, he found joy in sharing his music and making others smile. He carried a spirit of warmth and kindness, always ready to lend a hand or share many laughs.

For over 15 years, Charlie worked at Travelers Insurance Company in Hartford, CT. He was a dedicated professional, committed to his work and his colleagues. In addition, he served as a treasurer, mentor, and musician in various churches, where his faith and musical talents made a lasting impact. As a youth, Charlie was a part of the Royal Rangers at Templo Fe Church in Hartford, CT, where he embraced their mission of evangelizing, equipping, and empowering Christlike men and lifelong servant leaders.

Charlie’s passions extended beyond work and service. He was a die-hard New York Yankees and Dallas Cowboys fan, cheering on his teams with unwavering enthusiasm. He was also an avid fan of kung fu movies and comedy, finding joy in both creating and appreciating moments of laughter. His deep love for music, his devotion to his family, and his joy in vacationing and making memories with those he encountered were at the heart of who he was.

Charlie is survived by his beloved wife, Margarita, and his three daughters: Vanessa, Olga, and Kassandra.
