Memorial & Funeral Costs

A couple of days ago, we lost an amazing friend, co worker, talent, husband, son, brother, & person. He was a vital part and the heart beat of our House of Cultural Arts. 

Maestro Andres Manuel Ruiz, passed away of currently unknown causes at the age of 38. 

He was by far one of the people with the biggest, most loving and giving heart. He volunteered to share his craft of music, singing, playing guitar to the community.

He hosted multiple classes through out the Valley and attended countless community events debuting his students, motivating them to continue their passion and display it to bring in anyone else willing to learn his trade.

Mr. Ruiz volunteered at the House of Cultural Arts since 2017 and was our first class available to the public from our established location, he had originally pushed with branches of our local government urging them there be a location for the Arts. He was a truly inspiring person, who loved his students, he never missed a class and was always trying to improve himself as an artist for his students. 

He was a newly wed to Mariana Zavala.
(Our hearts go out to her) whom he loved very much. He loved photography, travel & making new friends. Always staying positive and encouraging our staff to keep pursuing our goals and to not give up, to keep our community as priority. To keep our valley as priority to continue spreading our craft to our community. 

This is truly a great loss to our staff, his family, his friends & our local & art community. There aren't many people in this world with a heart & passion as great as his. 

We are currently raising funds for his wife to assist with any Funeral  & Memorial expenses. 

Any way that you could help would greatly be appritiated. 

We will also be holding a musical event at our House of Cultural Arts in memory of him, with several special guests and his students.
