Ruben Zuniga~Velazquez Obituary

Ruben Zuniga-Velazquez, of Greenbush, VA, was born in Aguascalientes, Mexico, on August 14, 1949, a son to Fernando Zuniga and Maria Velazquez, and went to be with his Lord and Savior on Monday, November 6, 2023.

Ruben was a hard-working man and was admired and respected by his family and friends. He loved simple things, like gardening and watching old westerns. He spent his long rides in the truck listening to music. And the beauty of a bougainvillea could bring a tear to his eye and remind him of the beauty of Mexico. But what mattered most to Ruben was loving his family and spending time with them. He was a great provider and an honorable man. He will be missed beyond measure.

Ruben is survived by his wife of 53 years, Maria Teresa Rocha Gonzalez; children, Juan C. Zuniga-Rocha (Rosa Marquez) of Parksley, VA, Judith Zuniga-Rocha (Miguel Bautista) of Belle Haven, VA, and Ariana Zuniga-Rocha (Gustavo U. Mejia), of Parksley; siblings and their families, Jose Zuniga-Velazquez, Tereso Zuniga-Velazquez, Rosaura Zuniga-Velazquez, Susana Zuniga-Velazquez, Fernando Zuniga-Velazquez, and Eva Zuniga-Velazquez; grandchildren, Susana Mejia-Zuniga, Sophia Mejia-Zuniga, Ian Carlos Zuniga, Kaiser Bautista-Zuniga, and Rayitas Zuniga; and several nieces, nephews, and extended family members. He was preceded in death by his parents, Fernando Zuniga and Maria Velazquez, as well as siblings, Maria de Jesus Zuniga-Velazquez and Miguel Zuniga-Velazquez.

A memorial mass will be conducted from the chapel of the Williams-Parksley Funeral Home on Monday, November 13, 2023 at 2:00 p.m., with Father Michael Imperial officiating. Interment will be at a later date in the Parksley Cemetery.

Rubén Zúñiga-Velázquez, de Greenbush, VA, nació en Aguascalientes, México, el 14 de agosto de 1949, hijo de Fernando Zúñiga y María Velázquez, y fue a estar con su Señor y Salvador el lunes 6 de noviembre de 2023.

Rubén era un hombre trabajador y era admirado y respetado por su familia y amigos. Le encantaban las cosas sencillas, como la jardinería y ver películas del viejo oeste. Pasaba sus largos viajes en la camioneta escuchando música. Y la belleza de una buganvilla podría hacerle llorar y recordarle la belleza de México. Pero lo que más le importaba a Rubén era amar a su familia y pasar tiempo con ellos. Fue un gran proveedor y un hombre honorable. Lo extrañaremos sin medida.

A Rubén le sobreviven su esposa durante 53 años, María Teresa Rocha González; niños, Juan C. Zúñiga-Rocha (Rosa Márquez) de Parksley, VA, Judith Zúñiga-Rocha (Miguel Bautista) de Belle Haven, VA, y Ariana Zúñiga-Rocha (Gustavo U. Mejía), de Parksley; hermanos y sus familias, José Zúñiga-Velázquez, Tereso Zúñiga-Velázquez, Rosaura Zúñiga-Velázquez, Susana Zúñiga-Velázquez, Fernando Zúñiga-Velázquez y Eva Zúñiga-Velázquez; nietos, Susana Mejía-Zúniga, Sophia Mejía-Zúniga, Ian Carlos Zúñiga, Kaiser Bautista-Zúniga y Rayitas Zúñiga; y varias sobrinas, sobrinos y familiares extendidos. Le precedieron en la muerte sus padres, Fernando Zúñiga y María Velázquez, así como sus hermanos, María de Jesús Zúñiga-Velázquez y Miguel Zúñiga-Velázquez.

Se llevará a cabo una misa conmemorativa desde la capilla de la funeraria Williams-Parksley el lunes 13 de noviembre de 2023 a las 2:00 p. m., oficiada por el padre Michael Imperial. El entierro será en una fecha posterior en el cementerio Parksley.
