In his younger years, Ruben enjoyed hunting with his brothers, fishing, and spending time in nature. Family was at the center of Ruben’s life. He treasured taking his loved ones to visit relatives in Colonia Dublán, strengthening bonds across generations. Nothing brought him more joy than playing with his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whose laughter and energy brightened his days.

Ruben will be remembered for his love of the outdoors, his deep devotion to family, and the legacy of kindness and reliability he leaves behind. He will be deeply missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him. We love you dad and grandpa; we will sorely miss you!
