Joe Louie Rodriguez, 61, passed away on Thursday, May 28, 2020 at St Bernards Medical Center in Jonesboro following several months of failing health. Born in Los Angeles, California in January of 1959, he was the son of the late, Louie and Geraldine Rodriguez. He enjoyed being outside with nature and planting rose bushes, flowers and shrubs. His family will think of him every time they see the blooms. He was a “what you see is what you get” kinda guy. Everyone who met him for even the shortest time counted him as a friend. He would do anything for anyone. For many years Joe owned J.Rodriguez Jewelers in Jonesboro. In 1989 he was awarded Jeweler of the Year for Arkansas. He was preceded in death by his step father and mother Edward and Geraldine Hardy; two siblings Richard Rodriguez and Maria Kronus. Joe leaves behind two children Candice (Brad) Bennett of Jonesboro, Arkansas and Natasha (Will) Jackson of Ravenden, Arkansas; five grandchildren Michaela, Hayden, Nathanael, Katelynn and Emery; two brothers Gary Rodriguez of Coats, North Carolina and Tony Rodriguez of Waldron, Arkansas; one sister Amelia (Kirk) Bernard of Alger, Michigan and his best friend and dog “Pookie”; along with nephews, nieces and friends. There will be a private celebration of Joes life at a later date. Tri-City LLC Crematory Funeral Home is honored and privileged to serve the family of Joe Rodriguez.
