Matthew Brisbin wrote a sympathy message

“Ruben and I were in the same grade and schools. Despite highschool being a challenging time, some of my fondest memories are late nights playing Call of Duty zombies with him, and hanging out during our spare periods. He was a great friend when I needed one. Years later, we met by chance on a bus in Ptbo. We watched fireworks from the bus, a special memory of reconnection. My deepest condolences, he was a uniquely kind person. My life is much better for Ruben having been in it. Matt Brisbin”
