Perez (August 15, 2001), Nathan Isaiah Perez (March 10, 2004), and Xavier Perez (March 26, 2007), whom will carry on his legacy. Rudy was a very strong-minded, loving person who was devoted to teaching his boys that nothing is impossible. He loved living life to the fullest. Rudy enjoyed spending time with his loving family, camping, grilling, fishing, and especially movie night. He also enjoyed making people laugh with his funny jokes and crazy dance moves. Rudy loved spending time dancing with his wife and making music with his friends. “My dearest love, your legacy will continue to live through our three beautiful sons. We will never forget all the great camping trips in the mountains and fishing when you were so determined to catch enough fish, even if it meant we were there until the next morning. You will be deeply missed but never forgotten. You can now rest and sing with the angels above. We will always love you and cherish everything you taught us. We love you my love.” SURVIVORS: Those left to cherish Rodolfo’s memory are his loving wife, Shelly Perez; children: Michael Anthony Perez, Nathan Isaiah Perez, Xavier Perez; parents, Martin and Benita Perez; siblings: Karina Perez, Rolando Perez (Eva), Griselda Gutierrez (Jay); aunts and uncles: Nino Ceballos (Noemi), Gerardo Ceballos (Carolina), Alejandro Ceballos (Angela), Olga Rubio (Angel), Enrique Ceballos (Maria), Antelma Ceballos, Esperanza Martinez (Gregorio), Bruno Perez (Leticia), Chuy Sanchez, Manuel Perez (Yolanda); nieces and nephews: Aaliayh Perez, Adriel Briceno, Mia Perez, Luna Perez, Eva Perez; close nieces: Alayah Carranza and Heira Lopez who loved him; several sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
