Obituary for Carlos Lebron

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” – John 14:1-3 

Booker T. Washington once said: “The happiest people are those who do the most for others”…. 

Carlos Lebron-Rodriguez lived his life centered on serving God, his family, his church community, his country, and all of those whom he met along his amazing life journey. Carlos was a loyal friend, loving husband, father, grandfather, military service member, public servant, church treasurer, business leader, avid fisherman, and role model to our entire family during his 95 years of life. His life mission was centered on serving and making an impact in his community as a military veteran, church treasurer, and transformational leader. As a treasurer, church elder and choir member, Carlos was instrumental in the construction and expansion of First Methodist Church of Tampa, FL as one of its co-founders dedicating over 25 years of service to God as an active member. One of his greatest satisfactions was to serve and make a difference within his community in carrying out the life lessons instilled in him as a child by his parents and family relatives. On March 4, 2021, Carlos Lebron-Rodriguez was called from his home in Tampa, Florida into his home to be with the Lord. Carlos was born on February 20, 1924 in Barrio Calzada - Maunabo, Puerto Rico to Aurora Rodriguez-Lavoy and Carlos Lebron Baerga. 

Carlos gave his life to Christ and dedicated his life to serving God, raising his family, serving his country, and serving his community. Carlos Lebron-Rodriguez enlisted in the United States Army on May 31, 1943 and was honorably discharged on February 4, 1946. In 1950, Carlos re-enlisted with the United States Army Reserve Corps until 1972 when he was honorably discharged serving for a total of 25 years. Carlos then joined the United States Army Corp. of Engineers where he worked another 12 years within the Civil & Engineering Resource Branch (ERB) of the U.S. Army Corp. of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station in Vicksburg, Mississippi. His support and leadership roles contributed to delivering innovative engineering solutions to Warfighters, the Department of Defense, the Nation, Federal, State, and private industry involving systems design and development, pavements, geoscience and materials, and the use of environmentally controlled facilities to test, evaluate, and improve infrastructure and equipment.
