In Memory of Jacob Ruiz: Support For His Funeral Costs

Donation protected
My name is Eric, and I had the true gift of a life time of being able to know Jacob Ruiz for the last few months of his life. In that time, I learned that Jacob lived for his daughter, Anna, and his wife, Audra, that he had a deep passion for music of all kinds, and showed off his intelligence and wit by diving deep into board and table games.

I also learned that no one who knew Jacob didn’t instantly become his friend. To say that he was loved by all would be a drastic understatement. He was adored.

In the early morning of December 1st, his daughter’s birthday, Jacob was traveling south on the interstate when another driver entered the highway going north in the southbound lane. The two collided head-on, killing both Jacob and the other driver.

The purpose of this fundraiser is to raise money for college tuition or other life expenses for Anna.

Any and all donations will help more than can be expressed in writing. Please share this GoFundMe with a friend.
