Joshua Rodriguez (myBigOhEyes) (Rascal2Most) was more than just a friend to me. He meant the world to me and maybe more than he ever knew. I cared alot for him. I would worry all the time, but you know what ? where ever he is now i know hes here with me step by step smiling. like he would always tell me "your not going anywhere" or im goin" i remember when we had jus met he would always defend my daughter, whom he knew nothing about, then an there i knew he was a family man, but To now say he was snatched from me with no answers very early kills me. He left me before i could even confess my true feelings.. for him why??? ..did i do something wrong? or was i punished?? who knows.?? It was maybe for the better, i may never know. I do know one thing, he dint deserve to die the way he was murderd and i will tooo be his voice justice for joshua! biggoheyesimissyou

Joshua Rodriguez lives even after his death. I am his mother and Joshua lives inside my heart and everyone else who knew him will say the same. He will not ever be forgotten . His smile alone is so bright it shines even now at such a dark time.Just to think of The laughter that comes with it makes me cry now. My son was missing for 12 days from the city of Pomona before the homicide detectives showed up to my home on September 7 2015 to pronounce his death. The shock of my son being murdered was so unreal. I still find myself somewhat in denial to this day that he is gone. Also his cause of death and whoever murder him are yet to be found. I ask for your help today to se e that Joshua gets the justice and respect that he deserves. If anyone in the walnut or Pomona are has any information about my son's last days or his murder please call Sgt. Jeff Cochran or detective Francis Hardiman 323 890-5500 anonymous phone calls are welcome. On behalf of Myself,my family and all who loved Joshua I say thank you in advance.
