 1 Cor 15:26 And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing. 
Looking forward to the time when the last enemy will be completely removed.

Isa 25:8He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces.  The reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, For Jehovah himself has spoken it.

Dearly missed a true friend, a brother, a father, one who hardly become offended, self sacrificing, encouraging, looking forward when Jehovah will call and you will answer.
Job 14:14,15.

You will be missed so much. 
Looking forward to welcoming you back during resurrection. In the meantime we draw comfort Revelation 21:4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.

Hi BaBa...

Still surreal to me that you're gone. I keep finding myself wanting to randomly pick up my phone and call you, but can't. You were always a joy to be around and I cannot thank you enough for both welcoming me into the family AND giving me the honor of marrying your MOST beautiful daughter, Melody. I'll forever cherish our last conversation at the hospital and DON'T worry, I won't tell ANYONE you mentioned the RAIDERS were your ALL time favorite team, although MaHomes stayed your favorite QB for some strange reason... I digress. I'm glad me, Mel, Gabby, and Stella got to treat you to one last run at HEROES, nothing beats enjoying some suds with some great BBQ and amazing company. When my ticket is punched, let's meet in Purgatory (half ways 😁) first pitcher's on me. Love and miss you, BaBa. 
Thank you for being YOU!

My deepest heartfelt condolences to the Ruiz family and all loved ones. Thank you for sharing David and his Momma with us all! I met David and his Momma while singing at karaoke shows! They were a delightful duo and always a pleasure to share the night with. We became dear friends and singing was always such a treat. We shared duets and  new ideas of what we would sing “ outside our comfort zones”  His struggle with cancer was unbelievable and in my heart I know he was given a little more time to say the proper goodbyes. He told me he always quietly sang the song “ Who wants To Live Forever” while he was going through treatments. David was the most kindest and humble man about everything he encountered in life! He was just amazing! He  taught me much about kindness and humility and when he was not fond of someone , his  words were still nice! I would laugh and say “ did you just express dis like for someone?” It was always so well spoken I was not sure! He loved his family and his fiancé! I am sorry I did not get to sing at his wedding like he asked , but I am so thankful we all had this year to enjoy him just a little more. 

I’ve been to many rehearsals and gigs with my former Husband Mike ( drummer) and met a variety of musicians over the years through Dave’s bands - and had continued years Of Friendship with the David Ruiz family - I met them all when I was 21 & the love & warmth in their home was always heartfelt- I wish you a beautiful new life Dave & many blessings Ruiz family - I LOVE YOU ALL
