Remembering a Bright Light: Ruben Michael Moraga III

In Memory of Ruben Michael Moraga III

On September 25, 2024 at 5:20 P.M heaven gained a loving angel. Ruben Michael Moraga III was a really sweet and loved boy who was adored by many. He was admitted to the hospital this past Saturday on the 21st when we discovered he was throwing up blood. The first day they told us that he had low blood levels, low platelets, and low white blood cells, so they gave him fluids and blood. Then, his belly started to hurt and when they began to administer morphine for the pain, they discovered a cancerous tumor and we were told the devastating news that he had been diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a cancer common in children. All those close to him have been deeply affected by this loss. We have been incredibly blessed to feel the outpouring of love from those around him; His principal, classmates, teachers, cafeteria staff, and kids from other grades have all expressed their concern over our precious boy and we feel blessed to see just how much he was loved. We kindly ask for any donations during this extremely difficult time as we are grieving his loss to help pay for funeral/hospital expenses. We know that heaven received and gained him with open arms, we will always love you Bubbas.
