Ernesto Ruiz Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on January 5, 2026 we had to say goodbye to Ernesto Ruiz of Vineland, New Jersey. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

Though Ernesto may no longer walk beside us, his memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those Ernesto touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In his absence, his spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.

He was predeceased by: his son Ernesto Ruiz. He is survived by: his wife Alicia Santiago; and his daughters, Leticia, Lourdes, Milly and Nilly. He is also survived by many grandchildren and stepchildren.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the family of Mr. Ruiz, whom will forward to a local charity.
