Ruben B. Garza

Ruben B. Garza, 78, of McAllen, TX, went to be with the Lord on September 26, 2024 in Harlingen, TX. Ruben was born on March 30, 1946 to Miguel and Maria (Bustos) Garza, in Robstown, TX.

Ruben worked for many years as a truck driver before retiring.  He enjoyed listening to music, especially Tejano and Country; he would often say he didn’t like any of that other mess.  He loved singing and would sing to Cris often.  In his prime he loved to dance.  You would often find Ruben watching old western movies and of course his beloved Dallas Cowboys.  Ruben was a serious but very humble man who loved his family. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

He was preceded in death by his wife,  Ofelia G. Garza, son, Ruben Garza Jr.,  parents; Miguel and Maria Garza, sisters; Sulema  Olivarez, Gloria Perez and Maria De Jesus Garza, brothers;  Eulogio “Carnalito” Garza Sr. and Roberto Garza.

Ruben is survived by his fiancé Cris Cavazos, sister, Maria Margarita Garza, brothers; Miguel Garza Jr (Sofia Esther Garza) and Juan M. Garza, and many family and friends.
