It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father, Juan Carlos Ruiz. He passed away at home on June 19, 2024, at the age of 53.
Juan was born in El Salvador, where he spent his early years before embarking on a journey to chase the American dream. With courage and determination, he moved to the United States, where he built a new life and established himself as a dedicated and hardworking maintenance technician, a role he proudly fulfilled for over 20 years.
Known affectionately by his nickname "El Binbi," Juan will be remembered for his funny personality and his love for creating cherished memories with his children and grandchildren. He often joked that he knew how to get them to listen by slipping them money when their parents weren't looking. His playful spirit and humor will be missed greatly.
One of his greatest joys was spending time with his dog Kloee, who was not just a pet but his best friend and loyal companion. Their bond was a testament to Juan’s capacity for love and loyalty.
He touched the lives of many with his kindness and will be deeply missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his children, Edwin (36) Sara (33), Carmen (32), Carlos (31), and Juan (25), and his twelve grandchildren Giana, Isabella, Yosiah, Arianna, Catalina, Eleina, Jaylah, Olivia, Elias, Esmeralda, Emiliano, and unborn Baby Ruiz, whom he eagerly awaited and already loved. who will continue to honor his legacy and cherish the memories they shared. His presence in our lives was a blessing, and his memory will forever remain in our hearts.
