Edward Alvarado Rodriguez December 31, 1961 – January 1, 2021 Edward Alvarado Rodriguez, 59 of Wilson passed away Friday. A funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. Monday, January 11, 2020 at Joyner’s Funeral Home, 4100 Raleigh Road Parkway, Wilson. The family will receive friends Monday morning from 11 – 12:45 p.m. at Joyner’s Funeral Home, Wilson. Eddie was the best partner I ever could have hoped for. He was my better half, not the other way around. He was a very good counselor and mentor to our kids. He also had a way of counseling his nieces and nephews. He would unapologetically tell them straight out what he thought and usually down the road they would call him and say “Thank You”, Eddie you were right. My Eddie was a joker. He would always say if you come over to visit that you had better bring him a beer. My husband fought like the trooper he was. My family and I are proud of all his accomplishments and will keep his legacy alive. We had a good and blessed twenty years together. My two kids and I will certainly miss him. Edward is survived by his loving wife, Danielle Snow Rodriguez; daughter, Roi Rodriguez; son, Benjamin Loadstar Rodriguez; mother, Margaret A. Rodriguez; sister, Emily S. Clarke and his brothers, Rufino Rodriguez, Jr., Jimmy Rodriguez, Raul Rodriguez and Leonard Rodriguez, Sr. He was preceded in death by his father, Rufino Rivera Rodriguez.
