David Ruiz Rodriguez

David Ruiz Rodriguez, age 57, passed away on April 11, 2020, in Mt. Gilead, Ohio. He was born in Bronx, NY to Jesus Ruiz Lopez And Antonia Rodriguez Colon.   He graduated from Caribbean University of Puerto Rico in Secretarial Sciences and Languages.  He worked as an executive chef in Ohio and as a Claims Processor for the State of Ohio Job and Family Services. David was a larger than life person who made everyone smile and will be missed by his friends and family.  He was a person who was the life of the party, the first one to help anyone he could, and the one who would be there.  His laugh and personality will be not replicated and he left this world a better place.   He is survived by his brother, Michael Ruiz Rodriguez and niece Fabiola A. Ruiz Diaz.   A special thank you to Andy Eckstein, a dear friend of David’s who has been there for David and for the family in a special time.  Thank you!
