May 27, 1955 — April 13, 2021

Ruben Luis Gonzalez-Mena residente en la localidad de Somerset NJ y de 65 años de edad, falleció en paz el 13 de Abril del 2021 en el hospital de Robert Wood Jonhson. Ruben nació en Puerto Rico, una isla a la que siempre deseaba volver. Durante su adolescencia y más tarde como adulto, le gustaba pasar el tiempo arreglando sus carros y paseando en motocicleta. Más tarde, comenzó a manejar camiones, lo que resultó ser una pasión para él. A los 40 años de edad conoció a Maria Gonzalez. Se enamoran instantáneamente y desde entonces fueron inseparables. Rápidamente Ruben tomó el papel de padre de Jhon Fuentes, a quien lo consideraba como su propio hijo. A menudo Ruben paseaba a Chamo en su motocicleta y lo llevaba a partidos de fútbol. En familia también les encantaba ir a restaurantes. Ser un padre y abuelo amable y confiable era lo más importante para él. Ciertamente no fue una decepción amando a su familia, especialmente a sus nietos, Jhonel y Jhenisa. Además de su pareja Maria Gonzalez y su hijo Jhon Fuentes, Ruben deja a su nuera Katherine Vélez, nietos Diego Rivas, Gabriel Rivas, Jhonel Fuentes y Jhenisa Fuentes. El velatorio se celebrará el 20 de Abril a las 4 de la tarde en Gowen Funeral Chapel. Su familia estará presente para recibir a todos aquellos que deseen venir a presentar sus respetos. Por favor envíen sus donaciones a Gowen Funeral Chapel en 239 de Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ 08901.
