Jose was born in Bryan, Texas, on February 28, 1990, to his parents, Nivardo and Irma Rodriguez. Jose grew up in Bryan with his three siblings, Irma, Julio, and Jorge. They were not allowed junk food, so Jose made up saltine crackers with Valentina hot sauce! They always had a good time, and made lots of memories growing up together.

Jose met the love of his life in high school, Denisse. They met during lunch when Denisse asked Jose "why didn't you call me? I would've answered" and Jose said he didn't have her number, so Denisse grabbed his phone and put her number in it. They started dating and made loving memories together. One memory Denisse will always remember is when the gates to her neighborhood were closed so Jose walked her home. It was the first time they held hands and he kissed her on her cheek. From there, it was love, and they married by civil on April 26, 2008 and in church on April 20, 2013.

Jose graduated high school in 2008; he had always wanted to continue his education at Texas A&M. After high school, Jose started working as a correctional officer and he worked there for 8 years but that job did not fulfill him. One day he asked his dad if they could start working together full time and from there he created his own construction company working with his Dad. One job they were working clearing land, his dad was operating an excavator and attempting to knock down a tree. The tree then fell on top of the machine. Jose always told this story because it impacted him so much. It showed him that in an instance, accidents can happen, and it's important to always show the ones you love how much you love them every day. Jose believed in God with all his heart, and believed that there was a purpose for everything.

Jose was always willing to help anyone, no matter what. He enjoyed drawing, playing the guitar, and creating films and videos. His truck, a black Ram 3500, was his favorite possession. He loved Polo Ralph Lauren, and collected Polo Ralph Lauren , along with coins and his massive shoe collection.

Family was the most important aspect of Jose's life. The days his daughters were born, Aileen on August 31, 2008 and Aurora on November 28, 2017, were the greatest days of Jose's life. His wife and daughters, siblings, parents, and friends were the most important things in his life, and his truck! He enjoyed going to Mexico to visit Denisse's family, and also family trips to Florida. Jose was a strong man, filled with laughter and always funny, and a loveable guy. He will be missed everyday by his family, friends, and loved ones.

Jose will be missed by his loving wife, Denisse Rodriguez; children, Aileen Danae Rodriguez and Aurora Denisse Rodriguez; parents, Irma and Nivardo Rodriguez; and siblings, Irma Lopez, Julio Rodriguez, and Jorge Rodriguez.

Jose will be reunited with his paternal grandfather, Alfredo Rodriguez; maternal grandfather, Juan Rangel; uncles, Juan Rodriguez, Armando Rodriguez, and Jose Santos Rangel; and cousins, Lupita Manzanarez, Jorge Manzanarez, Kevin Manzanarez, and Kirby Manzanarez.

José nació en Bryan, Texas, el 28 de Febrero de 1990, de sus padres, Nivardo y Irma Rodríguez. José creció en Bryan con sus tres hermanos, Irma, Julio, y Jorge. No se les permitía comida chatarra, ¡así que José preparó galletas saladas con salsa picante Valentina! Siempre lo pasaron bien y crearon muchos recuerdos al crecer juntos.

José conoció al amor de su vida en la escuela secundaria, Denisse. Se conocieron durante el almuerzo cuando Denisse le preguntó a José "¿Por qué no me llamaste? Hubiera respondido "y José dijo que no tenía su número, así que Denisse tomó su teléfono y puso su número en él. Comenzaron a salir y crearon recuerdos amorosos juntos. Un recuerdo que Denisse siempre recordará es cuando se cerraron las puertas de su vecindario, por lo que José la acompañó a casa. Fue la primera vez que se tomaron de la mano y la besó en la mejilla. A partir de ahí, fue amor, y se casaron por civil el 26 de Abril de 2008 y en la iglesia el 20 de abril de 2013.

José se graduó de la escuela secundaria en 2008; siempre había querido continuar su educación en Texas A & M. Después de la escuela secundaria, José comenzó a trabajar como oficial correccional y trabajó allí durante 8 años, pero ese trabajo no lo satisfacía. Un día le preguntó a su papá si podían empezar a trabajar juntos a tiempo completo y a partir de ahí creó su propia empresa de construcción trabajando con su papá. Una vez, estaban limpiando la tierra, su padre operaba una excavadora y intentaba derribar un árbol. Luego, el árbol cayó sobre la máquina. José siempre contó esta historia porque le impactó mucho. Le mostró que, en un caso, pueden ocurrir accidentes, y es importante mostrar siempre a los que ama cuánto los ama todos los días. José creía en Dios con todo su corazón y creía que había un propósito para todo.

José siempre estaba dispuesto a ayudar a cualquiera, sin importar nada. Le gustaba dibujar, tocar la guitarra y crear películas y videos. Su camioneta, una Ram 3500 negra, era su posesión favorita. Le encantaba Polo Ralph Lauren y coleccionaba Polo Ralph Lauren, junto con monedas y su enorme colección de zapatos.

La familia fue el aspecto más importante de la vida de José. Los días en que nacieron sus hijas, Aileen el 31 de agosto de 2008 y Aurora el 28 de noviembre de 2017, fueron los mejores días de la vida de José. Su esposa y hijas, hermanos, padres y amigos eran las cosas más importantes de su vida, ¡y su camioneta! Le gustaba ir a México para visitar a la familia de Denisse y también los viajes familiares a Florida. José era un hombre fuerte, lleno de risas y siempre divertido, y un chico adorable. Su familia, amigos y seres queridos lo extrañarán todos los días.

José será extrañado por su amada esposa, Denisse Rodríguez; las niñas, Aileen Danae Rodríguez y Aurora Denisse Rodríguez; padres, Irma y Nivardo Rodríguez; y hermanos, Irma López, Julio Rodríguez y Jorge Rodríguez.

José se reunirá con su abuelo paterno, Alfredo Rodríguez; abuelo materno, Juan Rangel; tíos, Juan Rodríguez, Armando Rodríguez y José Santos Rangel; y los primos, Lupita Manzanarez, Jorge Manzanarez, Kevin Manzanarez y Kirby Manzanarez.
