Rene Nicolas Rodela, born September 9, 1967, began his wonderful life journey surrounded by the love of his family and passed away in peace and love on August 4, 2020.
Throughout his life, he touched everyone around him with laughter, warmth, and happiness. Just a few minutes talk with him was enough to lift spirits for a whole day. He made everyday life a joy to be shared. Rene devoted many years of his life in volunteer service, giving back to the community through his commitment to preserving the memory and sacrifice of our World War II veterans.
He joins his father Candelario in eternal rest.
Rene was a loving and devoted husband, father, son, and brother. He is survived by his loving wife Gloria Anguiano; daughter Ariel Nicole Rodela; stepchildren Elizabeth Terry, Sarah Gloria, Samantha Anguiano, Steven Beal, Heather Beal, and Lisa Sanchez; and brother Rudy Rodela; all who will remember him for his deep, abiding love, generosity of spirit, and joy for life. His mother, Maria Rodela, will remember a devoted son whose cherished love will be an eternal treasure.
