T. Donald A. Rodica

Telesforo Rodica, retired CFO, passed away on March 4, 2022, at the age of 76.

Telesforo was born March 01, 1946 to Lily Alas Rodica and Dr. Aurelio Rodica in Balayan Batangas, Philippines. He graduated from De La Salle University in 1967 with a Bachelor of Arts and Science in Commerce and from Depaul University with a Master of Business Administration in finance.

In addition to his wife, Maloida Rodriguez Rodica, and his children; Patricia Gail Rodica (Eric Jones), Annaliza Rodica Izydorczyk (Gene Izydorczyk), Lou-Ed Kino Villacorta (Isabell Villacorta), and Liana Rodica. Telesforo is survived by his grandchildren, Don Carlos (DC) Rodica Panadero and Melody Rodica Jones, Austin and Lauren Izydorczyk, and Sofia Y-Laissa Villacorta; and his dog Kurly.

Telesforo was everyone’s gentle giant because he towered over most people in height and had the biggest heart. He was always kind and generous to anyone he interacted with, be it family, friends, and strangers.   It was good to know that people felt comfortable to go to him for advice and for help. Whether he was playing outside or virtually, or watching a tournament, he always loved golf.  Telesforo loved being with people and enjoyed life doing big things like travel across the globe or simply spending time with his loved ones.  He always put his family first before his own needs.

The family will receive friends for a visitation Wednesday, March 9, 2022, from 6:00-9:00 p.m. at Allen Family Funeral Options.

There will be a mass to celebrate Telesforo’s life at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, in the gym at 3100 W Spring Creek Pkwy, Plano, Texas with Fr. Tuan Le officiating.  If you wish to watch the mass via webcast, please visit: https://youtu.be/Bjt6K0-g-6A
