Forever Young Foundation, also, was so fortunate to have a Birds Eye view of the amazing man he was. He continues to live on in the many lives he served and blessed.
Today marks 23 years since the passing of Grandpa Ruiz, whose life continues to inspire the mission of ESPIRITU.
From humble beginnings in New Mexico, Grandpa Ruiz, his wife Estela, and their children built a legacy rooted in faith, perseverance, hard work, and service. Together, they dedicated their lives to creating opportunities for others and making the world a better place.
Today, we honor Grandpa Ruiz and celebrate the legacy that lives on through the Ruiz family, our schools, and every student whose life is transformed through education, servant leadership, and love.
