Rodolfo Urive Obituary (1942 - 2025)

Rodolfo Urive Sr., 83, went home to be with the Lord on May 30th 2025, surrounded by the love of his family. Rodolfo was a man of unwavering faith who lived each day guided by his love for God. He found great joy in worship, never missing an opportunity to praise the Lord and share His goodness with others. His faith was not only something he believed—it was something he lived, and it touched everyone who knew him. He was a devoted father, a proud grandfather, and a deeply loving great-grandfather. He had a special bond with his great-grandchildren, caring for them with kindness, patience, and a joyful heart. Whether it was helping with a task or just sitting together in quiet company, he gave them his full attention and unconditional love. When he wasn’t with family, you could often find him by the water, fishing rod in hand, enjoying the simple peace of nature. Fishing wasn’t just a hobby for him—it was a way to slow down, reflect, and enjoy the beauty of God’s creation. He loved his children with a fierce and tender heart, always lifting them up, supporting their journeys, and reminding them—with his words and his actions—just how proud he was. His love was the kind that made others feel safe, seen, and cherished. Above all, Rodolfo had a gift for making people laugh. His humor was natural and effortless—he could light up a room with a joke, a story, or just his presence. He brought joy wherever he went and reminded us all not to take life too seriously. He is survived by his 3 sons, Rodolfo Jr. , Armando, and Ruben, along with 10 grandchildren, (Martin, David, Michael, Bianca, Leanna, Briana, Karina, Rudy, Abi-Skylar, Jacob ) 13 great grandchildren (Marty, Mireya, Miranda, Melanie, Emma, Ray, Bonnie, Fay, Ella, Micah, Malakai, Luke, Madison) and 3 of his siblings (Lydia, Conrado, Ornaldo) He was preceded by death of his wife Andrea, and his 2 daughters Velma and Belinda. Though our hearts are broken, we rejoice knowing he is now in the presence of the Lord he loved so deeply. Services will be held on June 5th at Ric Brown Funeral Home 701 E Expressway 83. Mission, TX 78572 at 4-9 PM. We invite all who knew and loved him to come share in remembering a truly remarkable man—a man of faith, family, laughter, and love.
