Jack Robert Rodriguez

Jack Robert Rodriguez was born on August 9, 1980 in Hastings, Michigan to Ricardo James Rodriguez and Susanne Irene Stockham.   He died unexpectedly at the age of 42 at his home in Alto, Michigan on February 13, 2023.

Jack attended Hastings Schools and worked most recently at J Rettenmaier in Schoolcraft. He had two children, Margaret Kaye and Victoria Jean, from his first marriage to Cassandra Rupke. He married Jessica Rose on July 4, 2014 and had two children:  Elizabeth Susanne and Henry Pasqual.

Jack enjoyed camping, whiskey, and anything that would make someone laugh. He took great pride in smoking meat, his epic beard, and his equally well-groomed lawn. Above all else, he loved his kids and was always their biggest supporter.

Jack is survived by wife, Jessica; children, Margaret, Victoria, Elizabeth, and Henry; his parents Ricardo (Kim) Rodriguez, Susanne (Michael) Stehr; brothers, Joseph (Kimberly) Rodriguez, Corey (Ashley) Fueri, and Jon (Amanda) Rodriguez; Jeremy (Tricia) Rose, Matthew (Jennifer) Rose; nieces, Lara, Aubree, Cooper, Jackson, Anna, Giana, Kylee, Lauren, and Brynn; and nephew, Justin.  He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Pasqual (Rick) and Norma Rodriguez, and maternal grandparents, Robert and Louise Stockham.

The family will receive visitors on Thursday, February 16, 2023 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm and funeral services will be Friday, February 17, 2023 at 1:00 pm.  Both will be held at the Girrbach Funeral Home in Hastings.  Following interment at Riverside Cemetery, a Celebration of Life will be held at the Hastings Elk Lodge.

Those wishing to make a memorial contribution to Jack's family, can do so in his honor at any Chase bank by check, referencing account ending in 3280, executor of trust: Rachael Risdon, family friend.

Jack's  fun-loving spirit, his smile, his laugh, and his huge heart will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
