Born on September 9, 1947 in Tulare, CA., Ruben embraced the calling of agriculture, carrying forward a family legacy with unwavering dedication. His commitment to his land was matched only by his devotion to his family. At the age of 18, Ruben became more than a brother, he became a guardian. He raised his siblings Sara, Mary, and Lupe as his own, supporting their dreams and filling every need with compassion and resilience.
Ruben is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Raquel, and their four children; Rick, Steven, Angela, Michael; his sister, Mary, and 7 grandchildren. He was a provider, mentor, and hero in their eyes-teaching them the value of hard work and family values.

"Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed, and held so dear."
The Sanchez Family
