A native of Havana, Cuba, and a resident of Slidell for the past 19 years. 
MGySgt Rodriguez was a 30 year member of the United States Marine Corp. He will 
forever be imoratlized in the legacy of Marines he mentored and the family he 
loved so much. He was always made time for those in his life. He was a penacle 
of advice and affection. Santiago took time daily to ensure that those of his 
family knew how much they were loved. He taught each of us how to live, love, 
and treat others through his example. He is greatly missed and forever loved.

Master Guns is remembered for his love of “taking the scenic route,” his 
unwaivering dedication to his family, his palm trees, and his Esprit de Corps.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, a donation in his name be made to the 
Wounded Warrior Project.
