Edwin Miguel Rodriguez, 76, of Trenton, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, in Cape Coral, Florida, surrounded by the love and comfort of his cherished family.


Born in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico, Edwin moved to the Trenton, New Jersey area as a teenager. He proudly graduated from Trenton High School and soon after, answered the call to serve his country by enlisting in the United States Navy. He served with pride and honor for six years before being honorably discharged.


Following his military service, Edwin returned to Puerto Rico, where he met and married the love of his life, Sonia. Together, they began building a beautiful life and family. They moved back to Trenton and called NJ home for another 38 years. More recently, Edwin had been residing in Florida for the past 12 years, enjoying his well-earned retirement. Edwin retired from the City of Trenton Sewer Authority in 2004 after many years of devoted and loyal service.


Outside of work, he had a true passion for music and the outdoors. He found great joy in fishing and loved playing the guitar and harmonica. But above all, his greatest joy came from being surrounded by his family, especially his beloved grandchildren, who brought endless light into his life.


Predeceased by his parents, Miguel and Antonia (Ruiz) Rodriguez; and his long wife, Sonia Rodriguez Vera; Edwin leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion. He is survived by his children: Ciara (Sylvia) Cynthia (Ruben), Michael (Diana), Raquel (Brayan), Esther (Cristian), and Edwin Jr.; his three brothers and three sisters; fourteen adored grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and lifelong friends who will carry his memory in their hearts forever.


Funeral services will be held on Friday, August 1, 2025 at 11:30 a.m. at the Buklad-Merlino Memorial Home, 2141 South Broad Street, Hamilton, NJ.


Visitation for family and friends will be held from 9:00 a.m. until the time of the service.


Burial will follow in Greenwood Cemetery, Hamilton, NJ.
