Ruben Reyes Jr.—The Hollister community is grieving the loss of Ruben Reyes Jr., who passed away recently at Golden Care Nursing Home. His passing came as a shock to his loved ones, especially his daughter and close family members who were by his side during his final moments.
Ruben, affectionately known as "Tito" to his family, was a proud Deaf man who brought light and joy to those around him. Standing at 5’3", he was fondly nicknamed "Bear" in sign language by those who knew him well. He was born and raised in Hollister, where he made a lasting impact on his community. Ruben was passionate about wrestling during his high school years, and he lived a full life until the tragic changes brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite surviving COVID three times, Ruben’s health took a turn, and his family is now left to honor his memory.
Carmen Reyes, his daughter, has organized a GoFundMe campaign titled "Honoring Ruben Reyes Jr.: Funeral Support Needed" to help cover the expenses of his funeral service. The goal is to raise $3,500, with $70 collected so far through the generous contributions of three donors: Dolores Lopez, Sonia Molina, and Alicia Pursel. The funds will be used to lay Ruben to rest peacefully, alongside his late brother Benji, with whom he shared a close bond.
The family is touched by the outpouring of support from friends and community members during this difficult time. Ruben’s godson, Pablito, who shared a special connection with him, is particularly heartbroken by the loss. The family is deeply appreciative of any assistance that helps bring Ruben to his final resting place.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of Ruben Reyes Jr. during this time of sorrow. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
