My condolences to Ruben‘s family. Wish we could’ve gotten together before the Lord called in home. Ruben truly loved his family.
My heart goes out to Virginia and the entire family. Sending my deepest condolences. May his loving memories stay with you always.
Rueben was a great friend. We spent many hours together and he was a huge inspiration to me. He truly made my life better. I’m going to miss that big ol laugh of his, but I will be with him again in heaven. We discussed that many times at length. Rueben was a follower of Jesus Christ and I am so thankful. No one loved their wife and children more than Rueben. What a great man !
Rest In Peace my friend. You were a good friend to me in high school. Actually, you were a good friend to everyone in high school. Thats just the person you are. You were kind, respectful, smart, athletic, just an all-around great guy. The best quarterback Edgewood High School ever had! RIP my friend, #5.
Rest In Peace!
Our prayers are with Virginia and all the family. We were so saddened to hear of Ruben’s passing. I enjoyed visiting with him and talking sports when he would come to the office. He was such a kind man.
Our deepest condolences to the Santos family. May he Rest In Peace

You always cracked some funny jokes. I really looked forward to seeing you at Morgan’s in the future but the Lord called you home. Rest easy brother!!! God bless the Santos family!!!
Words cannot describe how sorry I am for your loss. Praying for you all during this time.
