Ruben will always be remembered for his kindness, gentle heart and love. A man of courage and strength. I know there are no words of comfort except that he is now with our Lord and Savior. His pain and discomfort will never hold him down again and you will see him in heaven. May God bless, hold and carry you all in the days and times ahead. May Ruben's beautiful memories help you in your quiet moments. Our thoughts and prayers are with you ALL.

Ruben's passing has brought many tears to family and friends. He will be missed but take comfort in knowing that he is rejoicing with the Lord and is no longer hurting. "Lord I pray for Ruben's family. I ask that you comfort them during this time and in the days and weeks to come. Bless them during this time of sadness."

Sorry to hear of Ruben's passing. He was a dear buddy through our childhood and I enjoyed all the years we spent together. When we visited him and Coyo we always enjoyed reminiscing about the good old days. He will be missed and the family is in our prayers.
Sincerely,
Rudy and Helen Moreno
