Loving Memory of Ruben Torres Gomez Sr.

June 8, 1951 – May 16, 2025

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Ruben Torres Gomez Sr., who left us peacefully on the morning of May 16th at 6:30 AM.

Ruben was born on June 8, 1951, and grew up surrounded by love with his parents, Cuca and Nolberto Gomez Sr., and his five siblings. He went on to build a life rooted in love and family with his wife, Audelia, whom he was married to for 43 beautiful years. Together, they created a home full of warmth, laughter, and lasting memories.

He was a proud father to four children: Maria, Ruben Jr., Vicki, and Jr. His heart grew even bigger as his family expanded — blessing him with 9 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren, all of whom brought him immense pride and joy.

Ruben had a zest for life and a love for the simple pleasures that made him who he was. He was a die-hard fan of the Lakers, Dodgers, and Rams, cheering on his teams with unwavering loyalty. He enjoyed life’s everyday comforts: a good bologna sandwich with potato chips, a warm bowl of menudo, and his favorite drinks — hot coffee, Sprite, and more recently, sparkling water.

He leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and dedication — remembered not just for the life he lived, but for the lives he touched.
