His sense of humor and his love for others will be deeply missed by all those who knew him.

Eddie, you were always a dedicated & hard worker who always provided for your family.

Rita Ruiz

Dad, I always looked up to you & included you in all my life’s important decisions. I would not be the woman I am without you. Thank you for always being my number one fan Dad! I love you!

Natasha Rene Ruiz

Dad, you were the strongest man in my life, yet you were never afraid to show your emotions. My love for Halloween comes from you and I'll always remember how you loved to jump out of places and scare us. LOL!

Erika Ruiz

Dad, you always had a good heart & loved everyone unconditionally.

Shanel Ruiz

Grandpa, you always believed in anyone with a dream and hard workers, because you were the hard worker and dreamer of our family. We are going to miss your unwavering support and love for our lifelong dreams.

Brezane Ruiz

Grandpa, Instead of waving to you from the window next door, I’ll be looking up and waving to you in the sky. I’ll miss you forever and carry your name with pride.

Eriana Ruiz

Grandpa, my favorite memory was when you walked to Cheesman Park my eight grade year to watch me run my cross country meet and it was one of my best races I ran.

Saveion Love

Grandpa, What a gift it was to call you grandpa. I remember dancing with you every time I came to visit. You would make me laugh until I couldn’t breathe. You held me when I wasn’t strong enough to keep my tears in. You were and always will be the best grandpa to ever exist. Until we dance again.
