Humberto Rodriguez "El Campeón"

Humberto Rodriguez "El Campeón" was an outstanding person, he had a great heart, always willing to help and care for everyone. He was an incredibly loving husband he brought joy, love and stability to our family, loving my mom " su reynita" always. As a father simply the best. No matter what he was always there, from advice to teaching us everything he could in life. As a grandfather, man oh man what can I say, I owe him big time, he made sure to instill compassion, determination and independence. He was a great son always carrying for his parents and siblings. Some he will meet again in the kingdom of Heaven. He will continue to look over those who are here. He was a great nephew, uncle and cousin, always being a phone call away, so much love all around. As a co-worker he enjoyed his job as a journeyman/ tuckpointer, always carrying to many tools to always be ready or to help someone who might've needed something. I'm positive, all the laughs and times of advice everyone shared with him, will always be remembered. Humberto was a big sports fan. He was de "sangre Azul " because his favorite soccer team was Cruz Azul from his hometown Mexico City D.F. loud and proud chillango. He also loved the Chicago Cubs, don't mess with his love for the Cubs, the Chicago Bears or his love for Chicago his, "Kind of town".
