Nico Carlos Rodrigues

August 22, 2011 - September 3, 2020

Nico Carlos Rodrigues crossed over the Rainbow Bridge on September 3, 2020. He was the beloved fur baby of Eddie and Nena Rodrigues, as well as siblings Mya and Aliya. He is survived by many human cousins. Born in Indianapolis on August 22, 2011, Nico had several nicknames including Buddy, Mommy’s Baby and Sissy’s Baby. His favorite toys included his football, rope, tire, slide and a rhino. Some of his most enjoyable activities were playing chase, playing on the slide, tug-of-war, cuddling with his family and going bye-bye. His not-so-favorite activity was taking a bath! Nico loved to sleep in his bed as well as anywhere his family was. His pet mom, Nena, shared some of the family’s favorite memories: “Road trips with family; Nico would ensure momma was in bed before he would lay down to rest for the night; he would dance with us; and he loved to get under the blanket with us and lay on the heater. He slept under my desk while I was working, snoring loudly! To him, daddy’s pettings were the best. He was the best companion, mommy’s baby, our protector and so much more. He is truly missed.”
