Thomas Rodriguez, 36, of Meriden, CT, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, November 23, 2022.

Born on October 28, 1986, the son of Linda Spisak and Luis Rodriguez Sr. Tommy grew up in Meriden, CT before moving to VT earlier this year. Tommy had several different jobs over the years, but most recently worked at Westminster Cracker. 

Family was the most important thing to Tommy, and he never said goodbye without an “I love you.” He was known for his good heart and joyful soul. He was always making people laugh but could also be the best listener when someone just needed to talk.

Tommy was predeceased by his stepfather, William “Billy” Sarles, brother, Manuel “Manny” Rodriguez, sister, Amanda “Panda” Rodriguez, and daughter, Olivia Navaeh Dorio. He has joined them in Heaven. He is lovingly remembered by his mother, Linda Spisak and her partner, Andrew Saumell of Bellows Falls, VT, his father, Luis Rodriguez Sr. of Charlestown, NH, siblings, Stephanie Rodriguez Maldonado (spouse, Vicente Maldonado) and Luis Rodriguez Jr. (spouse, Sarah Rodriguez), nieces and nephews; Alecsandro, Jesenia, Christian, Nadyali, Daniel, Abran, Joanna, Gabe, Luis, Hannah, Marcia, Nathan and Katèlináh. He is also remembered by many aunts, cousins, and friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held on January 14 in Meriden, CT. The location and time will be announced soon by the family via Facebook. 

Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the Fenton and Hennessey Funeral Home, 55 Westminster Street, Bellows Falls, VT.
