"Nick just started recently valeting here so he could finish out his school," said his girlfriend Jasmin Astorga.
Astorga told ABC13 that Rodriguez was studying music therapy at Sam Houston State University. She said he would drive to and from classes every day so he could continue living in Houston near her and his family.
"He was the love of my life, and I don't think I'll ever be the same without him," Astorga said through tears.
She told ABC13 that Rodriguez beat childhood leukemia only to die by the rash decision of a reckless driver. An account has been set up to help with expenses for Rodriguez's memorial.
Police say Ahmedal Modawi, a valet for a hookah lounge across the street, was doing donuts in a customer's car.
