Michael Ruiz Obituary

Michael John Ruiz March 18, 1956-June 10, 2012 Former Resident, San Leandro Rejoice! Michael John Ruiz is now in Heaven enjoying the life he longed for in the presence of Jesus. He was born on March 18, 1956, and passed away June 10, 2012, after a long battle with cancer. He lived and worked as an Operating Engineer in the Bay Area for many years, and recently took an early retirement following his cancer diagnosis. Michael had a great heart and showed love to all-both to the fortunate and to the unfortunate. His humor, smile and loving ways will be missed. He is survived by his wife of 20 years, Avonne Ruiz, 8 brothers and sisters and numerous nieces and nephews. Please join us in celebrating Michael's life at a memorial service on June 30, 2012, at 1:00 p.m., at Int'l Christian Center, 562 Lewelling Blvd, San Leandro, CA.
