ATLANTA — The oldest son of legendary Atlanta radio personality Frank Rodriguez, known professionally as Frank Ski, has died, he recently announced on social media.
"As I write this post. Tears are falling down. Many of you know. I’m not good at expressing my emotions publicly," Ski wrote in the post. "I am deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved son Jarrett, whose light touched the lives of many."
Ski said Jarrett Rodriguez had been battling health issues with "unwavering courage and grace."
"Despite his challenges, he brought immense joy and love into our lives and touched the hearts of all who knew him. He will be forever cherished and remembered for his strength, resilience, and the light he brought into the world," he added.
Ski said Jarrett's last words to him last Friday were, "Dad, Hold my hand. I love You."

Jarrett,
My first son. Though you are no longer with us, your spirit will forever live on in our hearts. You brought joy, laughter, and love into our lives, and your absence leaves an indelible void in our family.
Rest peacefully, son, until we meet again.
Love You,
Dad
A memorial service will be held for Jarrett on Sunday, May 19.
