Edwin Joseph Rodriguez was born on Sunday, February 2nd, 1986 to Edwin and Deborah Rodriguez in Omaha, Nebraska and transitioned unexpectedly the afternoon of Sunday, May 22nd, 2022. Edwin Joseph, lovingly nicknamed EJ by his family & friends.

As a child, he attended Harvest Tabernacle Church later becoming Ambassador Worship Center, where he served as an usher. He re-dedicated his life to Christ in his adult years and was baptized. He attended Willa Cather Elementary School, Millard North Middle and High School. His advanced education was Automotive Technology at Metropolitan Community College in Omaha, NE and Wyotech in Sacramento, CA.

He built a career doing what he loved in the auto industry working at Huber Chevrolet, AutoZone, Baxter Audi, and Auto Parts Warehouse. Everyone he met was always greeted with his deep dimpled smile, kind words, and acts of service. His passion for cars led him to be the go-to car guy for his family and friends. EJ could listen to a car's engine and tell you exactly what was wrong with it. He became the fix it man just like his late Grandfather Henry C. Hill whom he loved and honored so much.

For many years he enjoyed family time, car shows, BBQs, and pampering himself with family pedicures. He loved to talk about his favorite TV shows or movies and sharing funny videos on social media. EJ was a car enthusiast. He enjoyed tuning up his car or helping his family and friends with theirs. He loved listening to Hip Hop and Rock, always belting out his favorites songs during Karaoke nights. He cheered on his favorite teams the Green Bay Packers and the Buffalo Bills. He loved going to the movies with friends and family, always seeing the latest Star Wars and Marvel films. He loved to travel, especially to visit his family in New York, Puerto Rico, Georgia, and Colorado, as well as other destinations. He will be greatly missed for all the fun times we all enjoyed together.
