Obituary For Juan Roberto Rodelas

Robert was born on July 28th, 1968 in Hayward, California, and entered into rest on December 4th, 2015 in Union City, California at the age of 47. Robert was a loving, strong willed man. He loved his friends and family deeply, and treasured the relationships he made throughout his life. Robert was full of life and outgoing, and enjoyed telling endless hours of jokes, just to see those around him smile and laugh.

Robert was a dry-wall contractor for many years and a skilled drywall finisher. Robert took great pride in his work. However, Robert’s true passion was coaching youth soccer. He started coaching at the age of twenty-two, and spent countless hours coaching all three of his kid's sports teams. Robert was a licensed National soccer coach, who was well known amongst many leagues. At one time, Robert was the president of the Union City Girls Softball Association, where his daughter and nieces played. Robert spent his summers traveling from tournament to tournament with his various soccer teams.

Robert was surrounded by a loving and supportive family. His family spent countless hours laughing and reminiscing on the good times. He enjoyed hosting poker nights with his brothers in law and closest friends. Robert was a loving man, who was never afraid to tell those around him how much they meant to him. Robert has left his loved ones a lifetime of memories, advice, skills, and laughter.

Robert’s loving heart touched many people. And although Robert has left us too soon, his family is comforted that he has been reunited with his son, Juan “Johnny” Rodelas, in paradise. Robert is survived by his wife of 26 years, Monica Rodelas. Robert and Monica met at the age of 15 and have been together for over 30 years. He is also survived by daughter Analisa Rodelas; son Richie Rodelas; parents: Roberto and Estefana Rodelas; sisters: Sonia and Gary Sclafani, and Crissy and Scott Mello; in-laws: George and Diama Escobedo; sister-in-law Leticia Escobedo; and brothers-in-law: Marcus Escobedo, George and Marisela Escobedo, and Joe and Gloria Escobedo. Also survived by many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his son Johnny Rodelas.

Lots of love and hugs to your family. Mr. Rodelas was always smiling. A great fan, coach, and father to you Analisa at practice, games, and potlucks/parties. He was very fun, funny, animated, nice, caring, dedicated, and passionate. I had respect for him just as if he were my dad. I remember seeing him around the fields, coaching the boys as well. It takes a very great person the be your child's biggest fan (every game, right there on the sidelines or in the stands) but an even greater person to be your child's coach. Love, Jennifer Orozco
