Leovardo Garcia Rodarte

Leovardo Garcia Rodarte, esposo devoto, padre amoroso y abuelo adorado, falleció el 7 de julio de 2025 a la edad de 77 años en Tucson, Arizona. Nacido el 30 de junio de 1948 en Excame, Tepechitlán, Zacatecas, Leovardo dedicó su vida al trabajo duro y a su familia.

Fue un obrero muy hábil que dedicó muchos años a la industria naranjera, así como a los campos de uva y cebolla. Su dedicación a su trabajo solo era comparable a su profundo amor por su familia y amigos. Leovardo era conocido por su espíritu bromista y un sentido del humor que iluminaba cualquier ambiente. Poseía un carácter amoroso y desinteresado, siempre anteponiendo a los demás a sí mismo.

Le sobreviven su amada esposa durante 50 años, María Rodarte; sus hijos Carlos Rodarte, Ruby Rodarte, Leo Rodarte y Nancy Rodarte; y sus queridos nietos Renay, Pricilla, Cynthia, Sayla, Gabriel, Jesús, Marco, Julián, Mya y Ayeshia. Además, le sobreviven sus bisnietos Giana, Xenia, Giovanni y Armani; su hermana Juanita Rodarte, hermano, Elias Rodarte; así como numerosos sobrinos, sobrinas y amigos que lo recordarán con cariño.

Encontraba alegría en los placeres sencillos, desde pasear en coche hasta ver carreras de caballos, y disfrutaba con ilusión de sus paseos diarios. Leovardo se enorgullecía mucho de su familia, y sus mayores logros fueron, sin duda, sus hijos y nietos, cuyas vidas conmovió con amor y alegría.

El velatorio familiar se llevará a cabo el 14 de julio de 2025, de 9:00 a. m. a 12:00 p. m., con un servicio de oración de 10:00 a. m. a 11:00 a. m. en la Funeraria Martinez de Tucson, ubicada en 2580 S 6th Ave, Tucson, AZ 85713. Posteriormente, el entierro se realizará en el Cementerio Holy Hope, 3555 N. Oracle Rd., Tucson, AZ 85705.

Leovardo Garcia Rodarte deja un legado de amor, trabajo duro y alegría que seguirá inspirando a todos los que tuvieron el privilegio de conocerlo. Lo extrañarán profundamente quienes apreciaron su espíritu y calidez.
