Ramiro Rodriguez,

Jr.

Ramiro Rodriguez Jr, 69, passed away Saturday June 26, 2021 in Harlingen, TX. He was born in La Feria, TX on July 28, 1951.

Ramiro was well respected by the community and loved by his family and friends. He worked for Whataburger for over 25 years. He enjoyed being involved with the Annual Teach the Children Fundraiser. He had strong ethical leadership abilities and would teach his employees to work hard but still have fun. He wanted everyone to succeed in life. To some, he was a father figure and he gave his nurturing to everyone. He was truly a pioneer in the food industry that many people knew because if his dedication to his job and to his people. Many say he was a huge part of their success.

He was also a man who was dedicated to his family. He loved to have cook-outs and BBQ. For those who knew him, knew that his heart was as big as they come. They would also know that he was a class act of his own, constantly joking around about everything but he did that because he loved to see people laugh. That is definitely one of his qualities that will be missed the most.

Ramiro is preceded in death by his parents, Ramiro and Monce Rodriguez; his son, Ramiro Antonio (Tony) Rodriguez; and nephew, David Parson.
