Mr. Alfredo “Fred” Rodriguez, Jr. loving and devoted son, father, husband, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew, and pawpaw entered into eternal rest on Sunday, December 4, 2022.
Fred graduated from J. W. Nixon High School in 1987; while at N.H.S. he was a proud member of the Mustang Baseball Family. Mr. Rodriguez received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from the last graduating class of Laredo State University in 1992. He became an educator and head coach at Elgin High School in Austin, Texas, before moving on to work for Family Heritage for 19 years. He recently obtained a master’s degree in public administration (MPA) and was working towards a doctoral degree in public administration from Capella University.
Those that knew Fred knew his love for sports and rock music. There was not a day when music was not in his life. Fred’s passion was instilling education in the youth. He was always a mentor to his family and close friends. He was a compassionate man who gave selflessly to those that needed him.
He will be dearly missed by his family, friends, and those whose lives he touched.

My deep condolences Cindy. Fred was a bad ass guy, that enjoyed sharing his stories about him and Ramon when they were going to college. The stories were funny, but always had a moral to it. I never saw him without a smile. He was always helpful, and filled with knowledge. He was always there for the family…and now we are here for him. God Bless.
My deepest condolences to the Rodriguez family. May God bless you and keep you. Coach Rodriguez was my basketball coach at Elgin High School, my junior and senior year and he taught me so much about my self and about my potential to be the best me. Coach gave me the nickname “Money” because he said “ all I did on the court was make “money”aka making shots for the team all day. I will miss his guidance and I will always remember him for helping me in my basketball career! His smile and love to help children was contagious and I pray his wife and children keep that alive. Go Wildcats and may your legacy live on!# Team Elgin High School.
My most sincere condolences to his wife and children and all his family members. I knew Fred from Family Heritage Life Insurance. He had recently become an agent with Homesteaders Life Company. He was a good and honest person. Very dedicated to his family and his work. I am shocked by the news and I pray God will give his family the strength and comfort in this difficult time. Prayers 🙏
My condolences to you and all the family… My prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️May Freddy RIP🙏🏼
