We are gathered here today in the memory of our brother, Rudy, to celebrate his life

as well to share in the pain of his loss.

Rudy was 41 at the time of his passing. He was born June 1, 1981 in Hood River, Oregon to Rosa Madrigal and Clemente Angulo. Rudy would become the second

oldest brother to twelve siblings. He was also a father to three amazing children,

Ellias AKA Lil E, Rudy AKA Nations and Vida the Diva. Rudy grew up and spent most

of his life here in the Tri-City area. During his life Rudy would come to make

friendships that would last a lifetime. Growing up on Ruby Street brought friends

that would become family! All of his Ruby street Fam stand up!!!

He spent his childhood years attending local schools through Tri Cities. When Rudy

was young he enjoyed playing marbles, cards and swimming at Memorial and

Richardson Park. Many summers were also spent at the Two Rivers and Columbia

Park barbequing and swimming.

Rudy attended Stevens Middle School and Pasco High and New Horizons High

Schools. Rudy enjoyed going to school, no not for the academics but for the girls and

the homies. A few short years later Rudy became a father and had his first son, Ellias. He loved everything about being a father despite being a young father.

Rudy graduated with his GED a few years later. He then later pursed further

education at Charter College and studied HVAC. His career spanned various trades,

from carpentry, to construction, to working on cars. Rudy was really good at starting

projects for sure. It may have taken some time but he got to it. Rudy later explored

the construction industry and realized he loved to build things from scratch. He

finally found his calling at the Union Carpenters Local 59. He worked and built

various projects throughout the Tri-Cities. Rudy really enjoyed going to work during

these days! Well, most days. lol And although his career and work made him happy, there was nothing

that Rudy enjoyed more then spending time with his 3 beautiful

children, Ellias, Rudy, and Vida. Rudy lived for his kids.

Growing up we didn't have the easiest of up brining however no matter

what life threw at our family we would always be there for one another

and Rudy was no exception and he was the example of a leader and

giver. I am sure most of us can think of a time where he came to your

side no matter who or what the problem was. He was also definitely a

scrapper and would have had everyone's back. No one scarred him.

When it came down to it and that is a known fact. My brother was not

perfect nor did he presume to be but he did try his hardest to be a

good person and that is all we could've ever asked of him.

Rudy without a doubt was a solider. He took life head first. He would

fight a fight. He would give you his last dollar. He would feed you. He

would house you. He would even give you his life. He knew that life was

hard but he was harder. Our brother fought hard in a hard knock life

but he was the sweetest, caring introverted gangster you will ever

meet. I know he's mad at me right now for saying that lol.

We love you brother. We will miss you.

For our family, please take care of each other, like Rudy would have.

In Rudy's wise words:

Good lookin out.
