Amber Marie Rodriguez

On April 22, 2024, Amber Marie Rodriguez went to rest in the arms of her Heavenly Father. Amber was born in Yakima, Washington on May 16, 1992 and was taken from us three weeks before her 32nd birthday. Amber was the most gentle soul, full of effervescence and spontaneity. She grew up in Sunnyside, Washington, in the backyard wilds of her childhood home running on all fours, hair windblown, and roaring like a lion. Even in adulthood, she never lost her flair for adventure and the purity of her heart. She was beautiful, genuine, kind, and had an infectious laugh that could move mountains. Amber was the queen of movie quotes and had the funniest personality, with a sense of humor everyone loved being around.
Amber had a joy for fitness and sports. She began wrestling in high school, ranking third place at state. She continued her education and athletic ambitions at Yakima Valley Community College, finishing third place at the National Collegiate Women’s Wrestling national championships, before being given a scholarship to attend Oklahoma City University her sophomore year.
She was a passionate paraeducator at William Wiley Elementary and realtor at Keller Williams Columbia Basin Realty.
Amber is survived by her young sons, Eden and Leon; parents, David Rodriguez, Connie Johnson and spouse Steve; her four sisters, Jennifer Shinkoethe, Halley Newhouse and spouse Devon, Nichole Lozano and spouse Josh, Allison Hoskins and spouse Aj; her nieces and nephews, Blake, Micah, Noel, and Noah.
Above all else in life, Amber loved her sons, Eden and Leon. Her boys were her entire world, the nucleus of her heart, the marrow of her life, the root of her soul. Every step Amber took was for the betterment of her sons with the aspiration for providing them a beautiful future.
The world is a darker place without the radiance of her light shining in it, but the glimmer of her glory shines in the eyes of her children. Rest peacefully and know we will protect your boys for the rest of their days. We love you so much, Amber, and will never fill the chasm left in our hearts. See you again one day, baby boo.
Funeral services will be held at Bethel Church in Richland, WA, at noon on Friday, May 10, 2024.

  • I got to know Amber when I was looking for a realtor to sell our rental and my parents home. She was a beautiful person taken too soon. I pray for comfort for all her family and that God be with her boys always.

  • Amber was so much more than a coach, she was a comedian, a D.J, and above all a mentor, and friend to so many. I wanted nothing more than to be just like her as a kid. Her laugh was infectious, her smile and personality was beautiful. the world is a dimmer place without her light. She will forever be missed.

    My condolences to her family and especially to her babies. I hope healing and peace surround you until you are reunited.

  • Amber had such an infectious smile and personality. There was not a time I can remember that she was not smiling and joking around. She would quote Family Guy lines to me all the time when we were younger. I was so lucky to have known such a wonderful person. The light you brought to the world will forever be missed. Your boys will be forever protected, with you watching over them. Rest peacefully, beautiful girl. ❤️
