Life Story

Ruben Adriano Sanabria was born on April 27, 2002, at 3:30pm at Anacortes Hospital. He weighed 8lbs 6oz and was 22 3/4in long. Ruben kept us on our toes from day one. I don't even know where to begin. He started eating chicken legs right off the bone at 6 months old if that tells you anything about his determination. There are so many stories about him, but I will leave you with a few of our favorites. Ruben was kind, loving, daring, sweet, gentle, rough, adventurous, inventive, and absolutely hilarious. There is not a single soul like him. He jumped off a 25-30-foot cliff at Whistle Lake in Anacortes when he was just 6 years old. I've seen grown men climb back down too afraid to make that jump. He had no fear. His aunt Jenny would say she knew he was about to do something extra crazy if he asked for a helmet, because that meant that it was even scary for him. He dropped into the bowl at the Arlington skate park for the first time when he was just 5 years old. Ruben was loved by many, and it showed as we saw at his service. We will miss him, and his beautiful smile. 

We love you always Sito, 

Dad and mom
