Patrick Lane Shine was called home to his Lord and Savior on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Patrick was born on May 7, 1944, in Houston, Texas to Cecil and Lola Shine.
Patrick graduated with honors from Jesse James High School and attended Texas Christian University on a scholarship. He majored in Chemical Engineering and pursued and built a career as a Chemical Engineer in the petro chemical field.
Patrick was drafted into the Army in September 1966, completing boot camp at Fort Polk in Louisiana. In November 1966, he was sent to Fort Ord in California for Advanced Infantry training. Once completed, he was approved for Officers Candidate School (OCS) which would add another two years of service. Instead of OCS, Patrick went to Washington, D.C. and served in the Old Guard. As one of his unit assignments and duties, Pat served to secure the transport of President John F. Kennedy to his final resting place in Arlington, VA. In September 1967, Patrick received orders for Vietnam. He was in Charlie Company, 3rd Battalion, 22nd Infantry until he was honorably discharged in 1968. He was a Purple Heart recipient and a devoted patriot to his country and his brothers in arms.
“Pat” will be remembered by many for his laugh, his boisterous and many stories of Vietnam and his various youthful exploits, his love of music and Busch beer, his loyalty and love for family.
Patrick was preceded in death by his loving wife, Anne, whom he married in 1973, his parents, his sister Barbara and his brother Jimmy. He is survived by his sons, Jed and Lane, his daughters, Brandi and Tara, granddaughters Olivia and Raven, as well as his beloved dog, Arli, (short for Arlington).
Burial services will be held at Arlington National Cemetery, 1 Memorial Drive in Arlington, Virginia on December 9, 2025, at 2:00pm. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to The Wounded Warriors Project.

Obituary
Anna Maria Rodriguez, a resident of Houston, Texas, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Monday, December 1, 2025, at the age of 92.
Anna was born in Shiner, Texas on April 5, 1933 to the late Adolph and Carmen Salinas. She was the sixth of nine children and the ‘baby’ of the family for five years before her three younger brothers arrived. She often shared her fond memories of living on a farm: her father on a horse and wagon, her mother scrubbing clothes on a washboard, and the chickens scratching the earth, searching for worms.
At the age of 20, she met and fell in love with her future husband Cristobal Rodriguez at a local dance, eventually marrying on April 14, 1954. Together, they settled in Houston, Texas where they raised their three beautiful daughters.
A dedicated housewife, she was motivated by faith, love, and a strong family bond, extending this nurturing spirit even to the neighborhood children she would sometimes care for.
As a grandmother, she will be affectionately remembered as a loving and devoted Momo. As she would often say, her desire for her family was that they would go to church, pray to God, and live happy lives.
Anna was preceded in death by her husband, Cristobal Rodriguez; her parents, Adolph and Carmen Salinas; siblings Esther, Albert, Elida, Angeline, Rudolph, John Raymond, and Vic; and son-in-law, David Rodriguez Jr.
She is survived by her daughters, Linda Rodriguez, Cristine Thomas and husband Leslie Thomas, Carolyn Munoz and husband Leon Munoz Jr; brother Richard Salinas and wife Hope Salinas; nine grandchildren Jessica Gutierrez, David Adam Rodriguez, Maria Gamboa, Roseanna Escovar, Gilbert Gamboa, Eric Gamboa, Titus Thomas, Melissa Amaya, and Christopher Munoz; and fourteen great-grandchildren.

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
