On behalf of our family, we come with heavy hearts to share the heartbreaking news of the unexpected passing of our beloved James Ruano, who left us far too soon on November 1st. This loss has shaken our family in ways we never could have imagined.

Because this tragedy was so sudden, our family was not prepared for the financial burden of funeral and memorial expenses. We want to honor James in a way that reflects the love and impact he had on all of us, but we need support to make that possible.

We are asking for help during this incredibly difficult time. Any amount you are able to give—no matter how small—will go directly toward funeral costs, memorial arrangements, and helping relieve the financial stress on the immediate family as we grieve and make necessary arrangements.
