Jeronimo O. Ruiz Sr., 65, peacefully passed away February 21,2021 surrounded by his family. He was born on September 30, 1955 in Taylor, Tx to Edwardo Ruiz and Cruz Olguin.

Jeronimo loved life and enjoyed having a good time with his family. He loved fishing in extremely cold weather and catching lots of fish and eating some good Barbecue. He was a big fan of The Texas Longhorns and The Dallas Cowboys. He enjoyed traveling with his children and seeing all the sights. But some of our fondest memories are of him with his grandchildren and great Grandchildren.
Jeronimo is remembered for his compassion and support. Those who had the honor of knowing him would describe his ease of making friends, always reaching out a helping hand and being able to light up a room with his charisma.
Jeronimo was a member of The Knights of Columbus, The Crusillistas and the Guadalupanos. He was a lifelong member at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Taylor, TX.
He leaves behind a legacy which he should be proud of and we know he is watching over all of us and smiling. He is welcomed with warmth, care and peace into Gods arms.
Jeronimo will be missed but his light stays with his loved ones forever.
