It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Pastor Inez Rodriguez, who departed this life on October 25, 2026, but began his heavenly journey as he entered the pearly gates, walking the streets of gold with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Inez was Born on January 30, 1953, in Sinton, Texas, and was Spiritually born again just a week before the Lord took him home. Pastor Inez was a beacon of faith, love, and compassion, who touched countless lives throughout his journey on this earth.
2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

Pastor Rodriguez was the cherished son of Maria and Dario Rodriguez, who instilled in him the values of kindness, dedication, and service that he carried with him throughout his life. He devoted his life to his faith and his family, leading with a gentle spirit and a heart full of love.
For 45 wonderful years, Inez shared a deep and abiding love with his beloved wife, Martha Rodriguez. Together, they built a life centered on faith, family, and community. Their union was a testament to enduring love and partnership, marked by shared dreams and unwavering support.
Inez was the proud and loving father of his only son, Elias Rodriguez, and daughter-in-law, Clarissa Rodriguez. His life was further blessed with the joy of two grandsons, Emmanuel and Jireh Rodriguez, who were the light of his life. He was a devoted grandfather, always eager to impart wisdom, share laughter, and create cherished memories with his grandsons.
As a pastor, Inez dedicated his life to guiding his congregation with compassion and understanding, offering courage and inspiration to all who sought his counsel. His leadership was characterized by his unwavering faith and his genuine love for people. He was a pillar of his community, always ready to lend a helping hand or a listening ear.
Pastor Inez Rodriguez leaves behind a legacy of faith, love and service that will be remembered by all who knew him. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, congregation, and all who were touched by his gentle spirit and warm heart.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Pastor Inez Rodriguez's memory to a charity or organization that reflects his values and dedication to helping others.
May his earthly body rest in eternal peace, and his spirit live on forever to impact the lives of those he knew as he so faithfully served the Lord Jesus Christ.
This was Pastor Inez's favorite scripture Psalms 125:1 Those who trust in the Lord Are like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
