Antonio DeJesus Franco Rodriguez

It is with a great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved brother Antonio De Jesus Franco Rodriguez. Who has left us on January 12th, 2024. He was 38 years old. Antonio or Tony as he was fondly called by friends and family, was born on December 26, 1985 to Teresa and Raymundo Franco in Barranco Blanco, Chihuahua, Mexico. 

As a  son of Immigrants parents, decided to study at Valencia Community College for his Associate in Science Criminal Justice Technology. 

He volunteered for the Civil Rights Restoration Campaign in assisting ex-felons to gain back the voting rights. 

He volunteered with the Youth and Young Adult Network of the National Farm Worker Ministry.

He received a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition from Congress Alan Grayson for exemplary Service and Care to working Families. 

He was a great brother, friend and son. He was genuinely kindhearted and always ready to help anyone in need. 

His hobbies included hiking with his loyal dog Charlie, listening to music, camping and most of all be with family and friends.

He was just simple, honest and humble.

He will missed by all of us. We take comfort that he's in a better place.
