Branden Ruelas was my dearest friend. He had the biggest heart of anybody I have ever met in my life. Losing him is such a huge blow to us all. Branden was always there for anybody in need. Helping people and loving others was just embedded in his DNA. Fireman, nurse, father, grandpa, brother, uncle, or friend, he took all of these roles very seriously, and he loved his people. Branden lived for his wife, 7 kids, grandkids, and family.

I am creating this page to give us all an opportunity to give to Branden's family in this extremely difficult time of grief. Branden was his family's primary provider, so his family needs all the help they can get as they navigate life without him. Please consider helping Branden's family by giving in a way that honors how Branden lived his life. If you are unable to donate, please share.

Thank you.
