Jose Arguello Ruiz, returned to his heavenly home on September 09, 2021, at the age of 76. His battle with medical issues in recent years showed his courage in facing life challenges with a smile. Despite the pain, Jose came out a hero and stayed strong until the end. His devotion to his family and his firm belief in God supported him in his struggle and ultimately gave him peace.

Jose was born in Huaniqueo De Moarales, Michoacan on September 20,1944. He came to Houston, TX in 1976 to raise his family and to provide his children a better life. Jose began his lifetime career as a machine operator for ARI. He was then relocated to Freeport, TX, where he continued to work and retired in 2002 after 26 years of service. Apart from being a hard worker he enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He loved beach walks, camping, golf cart rides, fishing, and his favorite going out for a ride at the Galveston Ferry. He was very vibrant, giving, and humorous. His departure has left us with an internal void, but he will always remain in our hearts. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him.

Jose is survived by his mother; Maria Elena Arguello, his children; Marco Antonio (Gabby), Juan Jose (Melita), Maria Esmeralda (Julio), Juan Guillermo (Jennifer), Elizabeth (Fermin), Moises (Angie), Jose Angel, Serafin, twenty-three grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren.

2 Timothy 4:7-8
I have fought the good, worthy, and noble fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. In the future there is reserved for me the victor's crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that great day-and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved and longed for and welcomed His appearing.
