Roberto Munoz Rodriguez, age 75, of Pawtucket, passed away peacefully on February 13th, 2024, at Oak Hill Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing.
Roberto was born on February 24, 1948, in Ponce, Puerto Rico. He was predeceased by his parents Fernando Munoz and Maria Rodriguez. For those who knew him best Roberto was always the life of the party. His smile, laughter, and comedic personality was beyond infectious. Roberto was passionate about so many things from his siblings, baseball, Boston Red Sox, cars and mechanics etc. - a true motorhead. Roberto was employed by Foxwood Casino for many years until his retirement. He dedicated himself to what matters most, taking care of his family and ensuring everyone had a smile on their faces before he left the room.
To call him courageous, and brave is an understatement. Roberto moved to Rhode Island in the early 70’s with dreams of raising a loving family, and that dream indeed became his reality. Residing in Pawtucket for over 50 years, Roberto was the definition of hardworking. He truly had a passion for an honest day's labor, and still had no problem asking you for $5 (although he never took the money!). All jokes aside, Roberto was devoted to his family no matter what. He lived his life with one philosophy, and that was family is not an important thing. It’s everything.
Roberto is survived by his cherished wife of 53 years Esther Munoz, his loving daughter Julissa Munoz-Rodrigues and her husband Emilton Rodrigues, his sons Roberto Munoz and Danny Munoz all residing in Pawtucket, RI. He leaves behind his beloved grandsons, Wilkins John De La Rosa, Wesley De La Rosa, Roberto Munoz III, and his beloved granddaughter Autumn Munoz. He also leaves behind one of his most beloved nephew Isaac Davila of Atlanta, GA who was like a son to him, as well as his siblings Angel Munoz of Pawtucket, Carmen Munoz of Providence, Rachel Munoz of Ponce, PR, Andre Munoz of Ponce, PR and Predeceased by Fernando L Munoz of Dahlonega, GA and a host of beloved, Nieces and Nephews.
