My heart hurts so bad for the Ruiz family. Erasmo was a pleasure to be around and I will forever be grateful I got to work with him (And his amazing father in law, Ernesto, at the same time). His words of kindness, the help when I was pregnant, and the heartfelt way he cared for everyone will always be in my heart. Heaven has an amazing Angel. Please contact me for anything you may need. I am here for you. With love always,

Erasmo was my building manager at Midland Elementary and he was such a kind spirited man who worked very hard for his family and for our staff. He was a wonderful and funny person who would give you the shirt off of his back-huge heart! Heartfelt condolences to your wife and children. RIP my friend!
