Aid Reuben's Family After His Sudden Loss

Donation protected
We are raising funds for Reuben Jr Alvarez, a loving son, brother, husband, father, and friend who tragically passed away unexpectedly on May 27, 2025. The cause of his death is still unknown to his family and friends, leaving them with more questions than answers.

Reuben’s day started just like any other Tuesday. After coming home from a night shift at work, he shared a moment with his wife, Vanessa, as she headed out to drop the kids off for school. Before they parted ways, Vanessa handed him his honey do list, and Reuben reminded the kids to stay focused in school. No one could have known that this would be the last conversation they would share.

Reuben was a devoted father and husband. Vanessa, still in shock, continues to say, "I don't know what I'm going to do—he did everything for us." He was a man who worked tirelessly for his family, and his presence will be missed beyond words. Reuben had a fun-loving spirit—whether he was collecting things, DJing, telling jokes, or giving everyone a unique nickname, he always made people feel welcome and special. His calm demeanor and easy-going nature made him a friend to everyone he met.

The community has lost a man who put his family first and had an infectious way of spreading joy to those around him. Now, his wife Vanessa and their children are left with an immense emotional burden—and financial challenges as they adjust to a new, uncertain future without him.

We are raising funds to help ease the financial strain on Vanessa and her children as they navigate this heartbreaking loss. The unexpected nature of Reuben’s passing means there are numerous unanticipated costs, and we want to ensure his family can focus on healing without the added stress of bills and the pressure of having to return to work too soon.

Every donation, no matter the size, will go a long way in supporting this grieving family. Your kindness and generosity are greatly appreciated during this difficult time.

Please help us provide Vanessa and her family with the stability they need as they cope with the loss of a truly wonderful man.
