Born on May 3, 1995, in Los Gatos, CA to Shelley and Peter Rodriguez, Eli spent his childhood in San Jose, CA before moving with his family to Highlands Ranch in 2006. He attended Mountain Ridge Middle School and Mountain Vista High School, later earning a degree in Economics with a minor in Business from the University of Colorado Boulder.

Eli lives on in spirit through his loving parents, Peter and Shelley. He leaves behind brothers, Gabe and Josh and his grandparents, Connie, Pete, and Sylvia. He now joins his late grandfather, John, in paradise. His family adored him for his gregarious personality, ability to make anyone laugh, and his love for all sports. Affectionately known as the “golden child,” Eli’s innate athleticism and magnetic presence made him a natural social butterfly.

Eli was a part of our TBird Family from 2007-2011. He was a beloved teammate and competitor on some of our most successful teams. If able, we would love if you could help the Rodriguez family in donating to Eli’s celebration of life fund.
