Juan A. Rodriguez Jr. was born in New York City on July 27, 1982. He moved to Englewood, New Jersey, where he was raised with his family. Juan was born a Christian who loved the Lord. He enjoyed every genre of Christian music, from rap to Salsa and Merengue. Moreover, he was a Yankee fan and very knowledgeable of the various baseball and basketball players's pasts. A loving memory of my son Juan, was the fact that I beat him twice while playing basketball! Oh how, Juanito resented me and dreamt that he was going to whip me the next time, but it never happened.

Juanito will be remembered by his father, Juan, Sr.; grandmother, Juanita Guzman; brothers, Jerry and Emmanuel Rodriguez, & Michael and Josh Overman; sisters, Marisol, and Veda, His aunts, Dinorah and Rayza. Juan's loving cousins Natalia, Garry, Leo Jr., Leonel, Victor, Wendy, Larry, Michael, Jenny, Ebony, Edwin, and nephews Julian, Jackelyn, and Isaac. If the family has failed to mention anyone else, We apologize.
