Robert Adkins wrote a sympathy message

“Man, there are some people who coach for a year or two as their kids come through... Coach Ruben was born to be a Coach. His sometimes gruff exterior hid a heart of gold. I loved his passion, dedication, knowledge and fierce competitive nature. His love for his family, his pride in their accomplishments and his joy at their achievements was unmatched. I enjoyed coaching with him over many years. My sincerest condolences to you all, Coach Ruben will be missed by many of us whom he touched.”
