Memorial Fund for Augustin Taly Ruiz

Hi there it is surreal for me to be writing this and for you to be opening this page. We have lost a beautiful pure soul this week and with a heavy heart I ask, on behalf of his daughters, for your support.

Taly was a devoted, loving father who lived his whole life for his girls, Alexia and Suriyah. While taking care of his beautiful girls he also found the time and heart space to care for countless other children in his life. Making sure he checked in daily to inquire how they were doing and never forgetting a birthday. His friends and family were his priority and that showed in everything he did.

His heart yearned to be in Mexico. He talked with his sisters, who still live there, weekly. He would always brag about their beautiful dessert creations and dresses they made. He was so proud to be their brother and took a trip home whenever he could. "El Rancho" was where he truly felt like himself. He loved being in nature and on the back of an ATV. He always wanted to share where he grew up and the beautiful land they lived on, the delicious food they would make and the community and love he had there.

Taly had a joy for life that was unmatched. No matter the hardships, and there were many, he found a way to focus on the good and live each day with love and happiness. Wherever we went someone knew Taly and loved him. They would light up when they saw him walk through the door and then that smile would dwindle as he beat them in pool.

An absolute master of the pool table that man. I would always imagine what was going through his mind as he took a shot; the angles and possibilities flashing through his mind like a computer. I still remember the way his right hand would twitch until the very last moment when he would take his shot. Although he was a pool shark, I always "beat" him. I know he would let me win just be able to brag on me to everyone we played with. He was the absolute best.

Of course we can’t forget about Taly’s magic hands in the kitchen. I know everyone has enjoyed a meal made with love by him. He was so gifted with flavors and allowed us to experience his culture and heritage through his food. I remember asking about recipes and he would always act like it was so simple and easy. It was for him because he had pure talent and a way with food that blessed us all. Plus if you were ever pregnant or sick around Taly you know even more how he used his food to love and care for us. Never an empty stomach around him, so thankful for all those delicious meals over the years.

I have never felt so loved than I did with Taly and I know many of you share that experience. His love was never ending and open to all. He would have helped and cared for all of you in his life like he did me because that is who he was. He was a lover. He was a true friend. He was a dedicated father, brother, cousin, uncle, and son. He will be missed by so many.

One way we can continue his love for his girls is by giving them the small gift of financial support. By donating you will help take away the financial burden and allow them to fully grieve the loss of their dear father. Absolutely anything you can donate will accumulate and provide a world of difference for these sweet girls. They need us right now and I know you are ready to show them how loved their father was.

Thank you so much for loving Taly and supporting his family.

With love and gratitude,

Rachel Wilber

Hola,es surrealista para mi escribrir esto y para ti abrir esta nota.

Hemos perdido una hermosa alma pura esta semana y con el corazon afligido le pido, a nombre de sus hijas,su apoyo.

Taly era un padre amoroso que vivio su vida por sus hijas,Alexia y Surayah.

Siempre cuido de ellas.

Tambien encontro el tiempo y el espacio en su corazon de cuidar de otros.

Siempre estaba al tanto de su familia.

Para el su familia y amigos eran su prioridad y eso se desmostro en todo lo que el hizo.

Su corazon anhelaba estar en Mexico.Hablana con sus hermanas que viven alli.Presumia de los postres y vestidos que hacian. Estaba horgulloso de ser su hermano. Cara vez que tubo la oportunidad ir a visitarles era muy feliz porque sabia que disfrutaria estar con su famlia de la comida delisiosa,de la naturaleza que hay allí.

Taly era una persona muy alegre. Sin importar lo dificil que aveces la paso siempre encontro manera de centrarse en lo bueno y vivir cada dia con amor y felicidad.

Era una persona muy conosida, donde quiera que fueramos siempre abia algien que conosia a Taly.se alegraban cuando lo veian entrar por la puerta aunque luego esta sonrrisa she disminuia cuando les  ganaba al billar.

Un maestro absoluto de la mesa de billar. Me pregunto lo que pasaba por su cabeza mientras jugaba porque sacaba cada tiro que quedabas asonbrado. Realmente era tan bueno, aunque a veces se le ganaba pienso que se dejaba ganar.

Por supuesto, no podemos olvidarnos del talento que  tenia para cosinar. Se que todo mundo disfruto de la comida hecha por el,un autentico chef.cabe mencionar que si alguna vez estubiste embarasada al rededor de Taly siempre les ofrecia comida.  

Nunca me habia sentido tan amada comp con Taly y se que muchos de ustedes comparten esa experiencia.

El habria ayudado y cuidado a todos ustedes con su vida como la hizo conmigo.

Era un verdadero amigo,hermano,primo e hijo dedicado. Muchos te vamos a extrañar.

Una forma en que podemos continuar con su amor por sus hijas es dandoles un pequeño regalo de apoyo financiero. Al donar, ayudaras a eliminar la carga financiera. Cualquer cantidad que puedas donar sera de mucha ayuda para su familia.

Much as gracias por amar a Taly y apoyar a su familia.

Con amor y gratitude,

Rachel Wilber

***El funeral será el 14 de diciembre de 2023 a las 3 p.m. en la funeraria Fowler Sullivan en Poplar Bluff, MO.***
