My name is Carmen, Rubens mom. Ruben has always been a loving and caring soul, who loved to dance. He was a light that shined on everyone that met him.

It is with heartache that I write about this unexpected tragedy. On Tuesday night, my little ones life was taken. I never thought I would have to experience this nightmare, and I still can’t believe I’m writing this.

Due to the unforeseen tragedy, there are unanticipated funeral expenses. We would like to give Ruben the farewell he deserves to honor his memory. Therefore, my family and I would greatly appreciate any monetary donations or support during this difficult time.

Ruben’s funeral time and place will be posted as soon as arrangements are made.

Thank you.
