Jose Rodriguez

Pastor Jose Manuel Rodriguez, age 58, born in Asientos, Aguascalientes, Mexico on August 26, 1962, a resident of Albuquerque, New Mexico passed away on December 12, 2020 of complications due to COVID-19.  Pastor Rodriguez is survived by his wife of 40 years, Joanne Rodriguez, his two daughters and their husbands, Jessica and Moises Loya and Nancy and David Daniels, and two granddaughters, Jessalyn Gomez and Jenessa Loya.

Jose Manuel Rodriguez received his theology degree at the University of Montemorelos in Mexico and dedicated his remaining life of 17 years to serving God as a Pastor at the Seventh-Day Adventist Texico Conference.  Pastor Manny, as he was known by many, reached countless lives and was a beacon of light to several congregations in the New Mexico and Texas Panhandle.  He was a hard-working servant of God with a passion to win souls for Christ and will be greatly missed by everyone whose life was influenced by his words and actions.  Guided by the Holy Spirit, Pastor Rodriguez leaves behind a legacy of redemption, salvation and a true dedication to completing the work of the Great Commission given to us by Jesus Christ.
