Ruben Ramirez, de 68 años, de Houston, Texas, falleció el 6 de febrero de 2026 en Houston. Nació el 4 de julio de 1957, hijo de Guadalupe y Alicia Ramirez, en Morelia, Michoacán, México.

Ruben estableció su hogar en Houston, donde se casó con el amor de su vida, Manuela Herrera. Hombre dedicado y trabajador, Ruben pasó muchos años como camionero antes de retirarse oficialmente; aunque ya no hacía viajes en su Peterbilt, siempre estaba trabajando en algo con uno de sus asistentes (también conocidos como sus nietos). Era conocido por su inquebrantable compromiso con su familia y por su gran presencia. Como esposo, padre y Tata amoroso, la mayor alegría de Ruben era pasar tiempo con sus nietos.

Le sobreviven su amada esposa, Manuela Ramirez; su hija Blanca Estela Garcia y su esposo Mario Garcia; su hijo Jesus Ruben Ramirez y su esposa Janet Ramirez; y sus seis queridos nietos: Mario Garcia Jr., Anthony Ruben Garcia, Elizabeth Guadalupe Ramirez, Jesus Ruben Ramirez, Emily Isabel Garcia y Cruz Joaquin Ramirez.

El recuerdo de Ruben vivirá para siempre en los corazones de su familia y de todos aquellos que tuvieron el privilegio de conocerlo. Será profundamente extrañado.
