Joseph Rodriguez

Joseph John Rodriguez, lovingly known as Corky, 67 of Ludington, passed away on Monday August 25, 2025.

Born June 9, 1958, in Ludington, Joseph was the son of John and Nancy Kay (Albrecht) Rodriguez.

Joseph was a member of Cornerstone Baptist Church and of the Moose Lodge 637.

Joey was gifted with a personality and smile that positively impacted everyone he interacted with. His unwavering cheerfulness, despite life’s challenges, will continue to be evidence that he embodied only the best character. Looking back at the loving life he lived through music, specifically Elvis and the Osmond’s, will warm all of hearts as he continues to perform within. He attended the DHS Workshop and Snug Harbor weekly where he was able to continue to work and develop his love for music, billiards and bowling.

Joseph will be dearly missed by his father John (Sandy) Rodriguez; sister Theresa (Ian) Schrader; brother Timothy (Iris) Rodriguez; several nieces and nephews; and many other family members.

He was preceded in death by his mother Nancy Kay (Albrecht) Rodriguez.

A Funeral Service for Joseph will be held on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, at 11 a.m. at Grace Funeral Home, with visitation beginning at 10 a.m. A luncheon will immediately follow the service at the funeral home.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Snug Harbor, 301 N. Washington Ave., Ludington, MI 49431.
