Joseph Rodriguez “Gego”

In loving memory of Joseph Rodriguez, “Gego”. The entire Rodriguez and Camejo families, along with all who loved him, mourn the loss of a truly remarkable man, Joseph Rodriguez, who passed away on September 11 after a courageous battle with cancer. 

Joseph, aka Gego was one of a kind – a genuine peacemaker with a gift for bringing smiles and laughter to every gathering.

Survived by his loving Rodriguez and Camejo families as well as a wide circle of friends who became family. 

Family and friends are invited to gather, remember and celebrate Gego’s life at McCafferty Funeral & Cremation Inc. 6711 Frankford Ave. (between Unruh & Knorr sts) You may visit and comfort Gego’s family during the viewing on Thursday  evening from 5pm – 7pm There will be another viewing on Friday mornig from 9:30am – 11:00am. A prayer service will  held at 11am. Gego will be laid to rest in Magnolia Cemetery. Please omit flowers and kindly consider donations in Gego’s memory to Colon Cancer Foundation -New York State

  8. My uncle was an extraordinary man, a man of true integrity and humility. He always opened his home to us and made us feel at home. From family gatherings, rap battles, and karaoke nights, a good time was always had at Gego’s house. The advice you gave me while I was growing up, I will cherish forever. The laughter and love you showed us will never be forgotten. My only uncle that always called me his beautiful niece 💔 It was a privilege to have known you. You will be deeply missed. I love you, tio, always and forever 🕊️

  12. Our hearts are shattered as we mourn the loss of our beloved Gego. Amparo, Paul, and Michael cannot put into words the depth of our grief. Gego was more than just our nephew and cousin he was a light in our lives, someone whose laughter, warmth, and presence made every moment brighter.

    We will forever remember his kindness, his smile, and the joy he brought to everyone around him. Though our time with him feels far too short, the love and memories he gave us will live in our hearts for the rest of our lives.

    We love you, Gego, and we will carry you with us always. You will never be forgotten.

  13. Dad, words can’t express how deeply I will miss you. Heaven is truly blessed to have gained such a beautiful soul. Your love, wisdom, and strength will forever remain in mine and Ry’s heart. Until we meet again dad… may you rest in eternal peace surrounded by God’s love. Me and Ry love you sooo much.

  14. MY OG was a true fighter!!!! strong, courageous, until the very end. No matter how hard the battle with cancer became, he never gave up, and he never lost sight of his faith in God, always kept his word, and lived as a stand-up man…… Now he is finally free from pain and at peace in God’s embrace. The world has lost a shining soul, and he will be deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege to know him. SAY HIS NAME!!!!

  15. You took my heart with you. We’re shattered and destroyed. You mean the world to us. Our rock, our heart. You are and forever will be the world to us. We were blessed to have you in our lives. I completely blessing and honor to call you our brother. The strongest person we’ve ever met. To say we’ll miss you is an understatement. We will never be the same without you. I love you with every inch of my heart and soul. I admire and look up to you. Your strength was more than an inspiration. You were and will always be my heart. Our best fiend, our rock, cancer did not defeat you. As long as you’re in peace, we are ok. You will forever be missed!

  16. Cousin, you were always an awesome, funny and sweet guy. Always showed love. Tremendous heart. Always with kind words of advice. I was lucky to have you as my cousin. Your memory will live on through the family, your beautiful children and your grands. My heart is broken. You’re no longer in pain and fighting this hard battle anymore. May God rest your soul in heaven!

  17. My guy “G”, this one hurts but your memory will live on in all our hearts. We had some good times and a lot of laughs, you and your family accepted my son and me as one of your own and I will cherish our memories forever. To my Rodriguez & Camejo family I love yall dearly and will keep yall in my thoughts and prayers 🤲🏽🖤 Rest up my brother from another😢💔

  18. My brother Gego was an amazing person. He taught us that human life was precious and family is everything. I cherish the time and amazing memories we have. To everyone he is known as my cousin but to me and my family he and his siblings are considered my brothers and sisters. His legacy and our memories will forever live in my heart. The world lost an amazing man and my family lost a beautiful caring brother.

  20. Dad, you took a piece of me with you. I’m literally sick to my stomach. Im happy that you aren’t suffering anymore but I’m not ready to let go. I’m so proud of you. You fought a long and hard battle. Cancer didn’t beat you. You kicked cancer’s ass. God is saying well done to you! You are a great man. You are a great father. You were the best grandpop Kai could ever have. I thank you for every bit of love you gave us. I love you with every breath in me. It’s always forever & a day with me!

  21. For My Cousin, Joseph Rodriguez (Gego)

    My cousin, Joseph—our Gego—wasn’t just family. He was a true protector and friend. When I came back after being gone so long, he comforted me and reminded me that through all those years, he and my brother never let anyone speak a bad word about me. That’s the kind of love you never forget.

    This December, he would have been 52. Too young, too soon. But I’ll carry him with me forever—the loyalty, the love, and the way he made me feel like I still belonged.

    I love you, Gego. Always.

  22. Well this a hard one for me. You were a great man.since I’ve met you I seen you had that thing, that hustler’s Ambition, that go getter attitude. You was always yelling at me to get shit together. I’m glad you seen me turn my life around.you never looked at me any different either.and I love you for that. You always welcomed me in your home. I will miss you gego, your suffering is done now. Now your with peewee and jav. You will be missed. And Canelo Alvarez lost last night hahaha.i will miss our football bs. Love you gego.
