Rogelio Cerda

With a heart full of love and reverence, we celebrate the life of Rogelio Cerda, who was born on July 25, 1939, in Progreso, Coahuila de Zaragoza, Mexico, and left us on August 30, 2026. Rogelio, a man of integrity, strength, and immense compassion, lived a life full of adventure and love. Every person he met was touched by his zest for life and his unyielding faith. His sense of humor, infectious laughter, and genuine warmth left indelible imprints on the hearts of those who knew him. His story is a testament to the words of Maya Angelou, who said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Rogelio moved from Mexico to College Station, Texas, where he built a beautiful life with his family. He was a loving father to his sons, Jaime and Victor Cerda, who remember him as a stalwart pillar of strength and wisdom. His silver mane and sparkling eyes were a beacon of love for his sons, who learned the values of honesty, respect, and hard work from their father. Rogelio was a man who believed in the power of love and family, and his legacy lives on in the hearts of his sons. He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Manuel Cerda and Benita Perez.

Rogelio had an insatiable curiosity that led him to explore the world with a child-like wonder. He was a man of many talents and interests, with a passion for knowledge that was infectious, often inspiring those around him to learn and grow. His life was a testament to the words of Albert Einstein, who said, "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing."

We invite you to share your memories of Rogelio, upload photographs, and celebrate his life on his memorial page. In the words of Emily Dickinson, "Unable are the loved to die. For love is immortality." Rogelio's love, wisdom, and laughter will continue to live on in our hearts and memories, as we cherish the time we had with him. His spirit will forever be a guiding light for us, reminding us of the power of love, the strength of family, and the beauty of life.
