Ruben D. Pena

Ruben D. Peña Luna, 57, of East Meadow, NY, passed away on April 13th, 2025.
Ruben was born in Corona, Queens, and went on to proudly serve 21 years in the United States Marine Corps. After his military service, he continued a life of dedication and integrity through his work with the FDIC. Ruben was a man of loyalty, strength, and unwavering love for his family.
He was passionate about movies, music, and sports-especially his beloved Mets and Jets. You could always count on him to root for them, win or lose. Just as strong as his love for the Mets was his well-known (and proudly voiced) dislike for the Yankees. Whether it was playing his favorite songs or sharing them with others, music was a constant source of joy in his life. His humor, resilience, and steady presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Ruben is survived by his loving wife, Maribel; his two sons, Matthew and Isaiah; his mother, Altagracia; his brother, Freddy; and his sister, Monalisa. He leaves behind a legacy of love, commitment, and service.
A visitation will be held on Thursday, April 24th, from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Thomas D. Dalton Funeral Home in Levittown. A burial service will follow on Friday, April 25th, at 11:30 a.m. at Calverton National Cemetery.
Ruben will be remembered always as a devoted husband, father, son, brother, veteran, and friend.
