Ruben lived an extraordinary life full of joy and happiness. He traveled the world on unique adventures always excited to experience new cultures and food. Ruben was an accomplished attorney in the Cameron County legal community and was a fixture at the courthouse. He was quick with a joke and always ready to mentor younger attorneys.
As an avid fisherman he enjoyed chasing redfish in the Laguna Madre and constantly inviting friends to enjoy the experience of being on the water. A highlight of his life was his election to serve as a Board Member for Texas Southmost College. He loved his role in helping students to obtain a brighter future.
Ruben is survived by his father Ruben Herrera Ramos of Brownsville, his mother Socorro Alvarado of Rio Grande City, his wife of 44 years Marvella, his daughters Ada Herrera Flores and Edna Herrera Dinsdale, and his grandchildren Alexis, Patrick, and Natalia.
