Dana Renee Ruybal tragically taken away from us

Dear Family, Friends, and Community,

My sister Dana Renee Ruybal at the age of 55 years old was tragically murdered and left for dead in a field in Denver, Colorado. Disturbingly Dana was found with no pulse, and no oxygen to her brain for at least 1-2 days as a timeline would have it. When found, police and paramedics did what was needed, they did heart compressions and was able to revive her with a faint pulse, which caused her to go into ICU, to put her on a ventilator to help her.

Dana's EEG testing came back and she had no brain activity, with a faint pulse, her blood pressure was dropping very fast, and the medication stopped working. At this time, I had to make a profound decision, if she would go into cardiac arrest to revive her, I opted to not resuscitate, since there was no brain activity and the ventilator was breathing for my sister. Dana passed Friday, November, 17, at 11:59pm.

Dana was born to the late Daniel and Geraldine Ruybal, her parents both passed of Cancer. Dana is survived by her three (3) children, Gabriel (18), Destiny (16), and Adam (12), along with her siblings Shelly (Ted) Trujillo, Donavan Ruybal, and Daniel (Elizabeth) Ruybal, and she had 5 niece's and nephew's, Ted Jr. (Dana's God son), Alexis, Chanel, Daniel, and Raya. Dana was a great Auntie to 6 children, Aidan, Andre, Aurelius, Alaina, and Naila. Whom she adored everytime she seen them.

Dana's children were by her side at the hospital. As they are trying to cope with this tragic loss of their Momma; I would like to give my sister a proper memorial to lay her to rest.

We do not have all the information about the murder, however, my concern now is laying Dana to rest.

My sister struggled, since she was 17 years old, after losing our mother to Cancer at a young age, Dana was our mother's care giver until our mothers passing in 1984.

My sister Dana was humble and had a heart of gold, anyone of her family and friends can attest to what a wonderful person my sister was. Dana loved her family and family was everything to her. As for me, she was my 1st best friend, my protector, she was the best big sister anyone could ever ask for when we were younger. My sister was beautiful, smart, and

someone tragically, senselessly, and brutally, took my sisters life! I will make it my mission to get justice for my sister Dana, I promise!

If you can, please help us lay my sister Dana to rest, please donate whatever you can in our time of need. Thank you,

The Ruybal and Trujillo family.
