Justo Quintero Rodriguez

COOKEVILLE CHAPEL - Justo Quintero Rodriguez, a man whose life was a beautiful testament to faith, dedication, and boundless love for his family, passed away peacefully on Friday, June 6, 2025, at Cookeville Regional Medical Center. Born on February 29, 1952, in Mexico, Justo embraced every leap year birthday with grace, living a life rich in harmony, compassion, and a deep appreciation for the world around him.

Justo was widely recognized for his skillful hands as a retired automobile mechanic. Yet, to those who knew him best—his cherished friends and devoted family—it was clear he was so much more than his profession. He was a gifted musician, often sharing his passion for music, filling rooms with joy and harmony that resonated deeply with all who listened. His profound connection to nature was equally evident; he found solace and peace in birdwatching and expressed an unwavering fondness for animals, embodying a truly compassionate spirit that touched countless lives.

He was celebrated for his noble, caring, and profoundly family-oriented personality. Justo treasured every moment spent with his loved ones, meticulously crafting a legacy of kindness, unwavering support, and enduring values that will continue to resonate through generations.

Justo is survived by his beloved wife of 48 years, Blanca Rodriguez. He leaves behind his devoted children, Victor Rodriguez and Dalila Lobato, along with her husband, Orlando Lobato. His memory will also be cherished by his siblings, Filemon, Wilfrido, Eustorgio, and Juan Rodriguez. His legacy continues through his grandchildren, Orlando Lobato Jr., Dalia Lobato, and Saul Isaac Lobato, and his great-grandson, Leo Alexander Lobato. These family members will forever hold dear the love, teachings, and values he so generously instilled in them throughout his remarkable life.

Justo was preceded in death by his loving parents, Refugio and Victoria Rodriguez, and his siblings, Toribia, Teresa, and Brisa Rodriguez, who now welcome him with open arms into eternal rest.

The memory of Justo Quintero Rodriguez will be honored during a visitation on Friday, June 13, 2025 from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM, followed by a memorial service from 12:00 PM to 1:00PM. Both services will be held at the Cookeville Chapel of Hooper-Huddleston & Horner Funeral Home, located at 59 North Jefferson Ave., Cookeville , TN 38501.

Justo's life was a powerful testament to the enduring bonds of family, the profound beauty of generosity and patience, and the boundless power of love, music, and compassion. His profound impact will forever be felt by all who were fortunate enough to know him.
