Miguel E. Rodrigues

Miguel “Miguelito” Eduardo Rodrigues, 34, of Canton was taken from his family and many friends in a tragic car accident on April 8.

Miguel was born and spent his early childhood in Brighton before his family moved to Milton when he was in first grade. He had been living in Canton for the past three years. He graduated from Milton High School in 2006 and had studied Business Administration at Keiser University.

Miguel is survived by his mother, Argentina Rodrigues from the Dominican Republic, and his father Miguel B. Rodrigues from Cabo Verde. Miguelito was truly their precious son. He was his mother’s heart, and a spitting image of his father. 

He is also survived by his older sister, Christina, with whom he was extremely close. Miguel adored his sister, and was very protective of her.

Additionally, Miguel is survived by a large extended family on both sides. They were the anchors of his life, and his cousins were among his closest friends. 

Miguel was active in the family’s eyebrow threading business, The Threading Spa, and had a passion for overseeing the family’s real estate investments in Massachusetts and Florida.

Miguel was built like a linebacker, and knew and loved the streets of Boston. He was also a sensitive person who was always there for his parents, sister, and loved ones. He would be the first one you’d call, knowing he would never hesitate to do whatever was needed. His infectious laugh and sense of humor would fill the room anywhere he went.

Miguel had a love for music, cars, and especially motorcycles. He would attend motorcycle meet-ups throughout various states. He found tranquility in the sunshine and calming blue waters of Florida’s East Coast beaches. He loved Florida, and made sure to let everyone know he would eventually settle there permanently. 

Visitation will be at the Keohane Funeral Home, 785 Hancock St., Quincy, on Sunday,  April 16, from noon to 6 p.m. All are welcome.

Miguel “Miguelito” Eduardo Rodrigues, de 34 años, de Canton fue separado de su familia y muchos amigos en un trágico accidente automovilístico el 8 de abril.

Miguel nació y pasó su primera infancia en Brighton antes de que su familia se mudara a Milton cuando estaba en primer grado. Había estado viviendo en Canton durante los últimos tres años. Se graduó de Milton High School en 2006 y estudió Administración de Empresas en la Universidad de Keizer.

A Miguel le sobreviven su madre, Argentina Rodrigues de República Dominicana, y su padre Miguel B. Rodrigues de Cabo Verde. Miguelito era verdaderamente su precioso hijo. Era el corazón de su madre y la viva imagen de su padre.

También le sobrevive su hermana mayor, Christina, con quien era muy cercano. Miguel adoraba a su hermana y era muy protector con ella.

Además, a Miguel le sobrevive una gran familia extendida en ambos lados. Eran los pilares de su vida, y sus primos estaban entre sus amigos más cercanos.

Miguel participaba activamente en el negocio de depilación de cejas de la familia, The Threading Spa, y le apasionaba supervisar las inversiones inmobiliarias de la familia en Massachusetts y Florida.

Miguel tenía la constitución de un apoyador y conocía y amaba las calles de Boston. También era una persona sensible que siempre estuvo ahí para sus padres, hermana y seres queridos. Él sería el primero al que llamarías, sabiendo que nunca dudaría en hacer lo que fuera necesario. Su risa contagiosa y su sentido del humor llenaban la habitación dondequiera que fuera.

Miguel tenía amor por la música, los autos y especialmente las motocicletas. Asistiría a reuniones de motociclistas en varios estados. Encontró tranquilidad bajo el sol y las tranquilas aguas azules de las playas de la costa este de Florida. Amaba Florida y se aseguró de que todos supieran que eventualmente se establecería allí de forma permanente.

El velorio será en Keohane Funeral Home, 785 Hancock St., Quincy, el domingo 16 de abril, desde el mediodía hasta las 6 p.m. Todos son bienvenidos.
