Robert Javier Ruiz

This news hit me hard. Prayers to the Ruiz family

Robert and I have a long standing history! I was his "model" for several years while he was in Shreveport! I was even in the Shreveport Times a couple of times. He was one of my dear friends for many years! I´m saddened by his passing. I thought of him often!! Prayers for his family!

Robert was a friend and mentor to the middle and high school students in my Young Journalists Mentoring program in Shreveport. I have many good memories of him helping kids learn about journalism. He was a good photographer and a caring person. Our lives were richer for knowing him.

My deepest condolences to the Ruiz Family May the Lord comfort you all Special love to my friend and colleague Rose. Adelita Bagby

I worked with Robert many years at the Shreveport Times. He was a talented photographer, and a kind and gentle soul. Our world is poorer for his passing, and Heaven is a richer place now that he has passed into eternity. God bless and welcome his soul home.

Dear Ruiz family. I am so sorry for your loss. I know that he is in a better place. Prayers for your family. shari records

Prayers and hugs for all of you. I worked with Robert and Vic at Safeway many years ago.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
