Edgardo R Rodriguez

Edgardo R Rodriguez, 62 years old of Morrisville, passed into God’s hands on Saturday, December 23, 2023, at Temple University Hospital.

Edgardo was born in Toa Alta, Puerto Rico to the late Andres and Angela Rodriguez. After relocating to Pennsylvania, Edgardo worked for Lambert Furniture for 5 years. After deciding he needed a change, Edgardo became a dedicated welder in New Jersey for Mercer Waste Management where he spent the last 20 years before his retirement. Edgardo will always be remembered for his love of the beach, exercising, biking, cars, spending time with the family, and cooking. Many will remember hearing him crack a joke, jumping out and scaring people just to get a chuckle…..or him telling his wild stories to anyone until they started to believe him just to laugh at how he got them again. But most of all, Edgardo enjoyed spending time with his family and surrounded himself with his close friends. His memory will live on in the hearts of all those who loved him.

Edgardo is predeceased by his siblings, Geronimo Sr., Luis Antonio; and his beloved granddaughter, Kastari Izabella. He is survived by his loving wife of 36 years, Iris Marti of Morrisville, PA. ; three caring children, Jessie and John Ricard of Burlington, NJ, Rosalyn and James Thrower of Burlington NJ, and Iris Rodriguez of Morrisville, PA; his wonderful grandchildren, Jahira R. Jayvon B., Jahmir B., Jalecia B., Jacqueline R., Israel Rico N.; Nine nieces and nephews ; and many other extended relatives and close friends.
