Hi everyone, this is Ruben's big sister Kristen. Our family is heartbroken at the loss of our brother, son, uncle, nephew, grandson, and friend.

Our family has decided that in lieu of flowers or any type of memorial fund, we would like to set up this Go FundMe to make sure Ruben's girlfriend Emily is taken care of. This is what Ruben would have wanted.

If you feel more comfortable writing a check or contributing another way, please reach out to me. Thank you for loving our dear Ruben, Rubes, Uncle Rooney.
