Carlos Ruiz Obituary
He was born on January 4, 1954, in Dinamita, Durango, Mexico, to the late Antonio Ruiz and Maria Figueroa. Carlos was a hardworking man throughout his life, dedicating his career to landscaping. He had a true green thumb and found great joy in gardening.
Carlos enjoyed many simple pleasures, including reading, painting, and going for walks. Above all, he cherished the time spent with his family, especially his grandchildren, who were the light of his life. He always looked forward to the family's annual vacations to Florida, which he loved dearly.
Carlos was preceded in death by his son, Mark Ruiz, as well as his parents.
He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Gregoria Ruiz; his children, Edward Ruiz, Wendy Rivera (Abraham), and Leslie Ruiz (Usiel Chavez); and his grandchildren, Eli, Ethan, Kyler, Avery, Lucas, and Lee.
