Rodriguez Jr. and Ramona Martinez in Jasper Township, Michigan.  He was was given the nickname "Tito Boy" due to being named after his father who went by the nickname "Tito".  He later became known just as "Boy".  Grandma was the only one who continued calling him "Tito Boy".   Boy was an avid Spurs, Dallas Cowboys and Houston Astros fan.  He would tell everyone that he would not answer the phone or door when his teams were playing.  He was a jack of all trades and master of a few.  He was an artist, who could draw anything, once it was described or shown to him in a picture. He dabbled in watch repair and was a great baker and cook.  He loved to dance and was a great line dancer. Boy could kick up a storm when he was dancing to country music. He did everything his own way and had no regrets.  Natividad Jr. was preceded in death by his mother, Ramona Martinez; step-mother, Diana S.
