Ruben is also survived by numerous cousins, friends that love him very much. Ruben S. Garcia was an amazing son, father grandfather, great grandfather and friend. He was always there for those who needed him. He was always there for those who needed help or support or just there to talk. He loved to barbecue and just burn mesquite. He loved his pool (Billiards) days and friends he met along the way. He loves his cars, especially his 1992 Chevy Z-28 Camaro that he named and called THE GHOST. He also loved his Chicago Bulls (Micheal Jordan). Ruben was never a Dallas cowboy fan ever though he was surrounded by Maria’s entire family who were avid cowboy fans. He would sit and watch the games and love that they include him in every mile stone, no matter how big or small. He retired from Spohn Hospital.  Although he was a very private person, he was never a stranger to anyone. He never wanted it to be a burden on anyone.  He lived his life to the fullest. He love to draw and color for the grandkids and even friends he met along the way.  All his wishes were met at the end. During his final days and hours, he was surrounded by those who cherished and loved him.  Save a place for us, just not quite yet. Fly high  DAD we will miss and love you and you will always be in our hearts. Gone but “NEVER” forgotten. I love you DAD…

Dad, one day we will reunite and catch up. I love you. Thank you for everything. Rest In Peace Dad…
