1945-2021
Ramon B. Rodriguez,
Sr, passed away Saturday, January 23, 2021. He was born on March 16, 1945 in Edroy, Texas to Ramon and Odilia Rodriguez. At a young age, Ramon was nicknamed “Bolio” and was known by his nickname by all. Bolio met his loving wife, Carmen, of 51 years, while his family worked in Burley, Idaho. They had four beautiful children, who gave them 9 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. Bolio and Carmen had a love for each, like no other. They loved to spend time together, whether it was at home holding hands while watching his favorite western show or having breakfast with their family every Saturday morning. Together they created memories with family and friends that will last a lifetime. Bolio lived in Edroy, Texas until he moved with his family in the late 70’s to Houston. Bolio worked at Rodriguez Ornamental Iron as a Shop Foreman, then at Summit Steel where he worked as Director of Field Operations-Houston, until his death. Bolio loved his job and looked forward to going into the office each day with his brothers, nephews and son. Bolio was a lifelong Dallas Cowboys and Astros Fan. He loved taking his grandchildren and great grandchildren to the Astros games and sharing his love of the sport with them. He loved to B.B.Q . on Sundays, but really on any day. He loved taking family vacations to Surf Side Beach and especially Florida. Most importantly, Bolio was a family man who always put his family first and enjoyed spending as much time as he could with all of them. Bolio’s smile, laugh and sense of humor will be missed immensely. Bolio is preceded in Death by his parents Ramon and Odilia Rodriguez and his brother Erasmo Rodriguez. He leaves behind his loving and devoted wife, Carmen, four children Rachel Verastegui and husband (Jose), Ramon Rodriguez, Jr and wife (Annabel), Amalia Portillo and husband (Rene) and Gabriel Rodriguez.
