Lorenzo Rodriguez, Jr., 72, a resident of Pearland, Texas, passed away peacefully on January 25, 2026 surrounded by his family. He was born on October 7, 1953, in Galveston, Texas, to Angelina and Lorenzo Rodriguez Sr.

Lorenzo was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend whose presence filled every room. He was the Dallas Cowboys’ biggest fan, rarely missing a game, he also cheered on the Astros as well. He loved cooking—especially barbecue—and found his greatest joy in the simple moments: taking his grandsons out to lunch, treating his granddaughter to ice cream, fishing, hunting, and spending quality time with friends and family.

A hard worker his entire life, Lorenzo spent over 30 years with Davis Lynch before enjoying his retirement years selling real estate. He was a former member of the Knights of Columbus and a devout Catholic who faithfully attended St. Helen Catholic Church in Pearland.

No one was ever a stranger to Lorenzo. He had a rare gift for making everyone feel welcome and important, and he would do anything for anyone. Growing up, he ran the League City streets with his buddies, building lifelong friendships and stories that stayed with him throughout the years.

Lorenzo is preceded in death by his parents, Angelina and Lorenzo Rodriguez Sr, and his brother, David Rodriguez.

He is survived by his darling wife of 52 years, Helen Rodriguez; daughters Veronica Nuttall (Charles) and Cynthia Gomez (Jordan); son Robby Rodriguez; brother Tom Rodriguez (Vicky); sisters Peggy Cantu (Manuel), Brenda Truan, Linda Rodriguez, and Nancy Founds; and his seven beloved grandchildren, Ethan, Noah, Adam, Jayden, Jonah, Gavin, and Makayla, who were the light of his life.

A memorial service will be held in Lorenzo’s honor on February 6, 2026, at 2:30 p.m. at Crowder Funeral Home, 2422 E. Broadway St., Pearland, Texas 77581.
