Ruben Lindley

Ruben was born on 6/3/1937 in West Helena, AR, and passed peacefully in his sleep on 3/24/2025. He was a computer engineer for over six decades. He also served in the Navy and Air Force Reserves.

His passions were family; church; helping people; traveling and collecting pins, T-shirts, mugs and mini liquor bottles from all 7 continents; decorating Rose Parade floats and collecting float pins; genealogy; and chocolate (not necessarily in this order).

• He leaves behind his wife, Lea; 
• sons Tom (Debbie), Dennis (Donna), and John (Cecilia); 
• grandchildren and great grandchildren:
  • Nate (Monica) – Esme, Nathan Jr., Emmett
• Zac (Fabiola)
• Amanda (Aaron Miller) – Charles, Jonathan, Elsie, Meadow
• Micah (Dominique)
• Josh (Anna) – Forest
• Joah (Kira) – Shaun
• Maddie – Paisley
• Jaden
• Jeremy
• Mercy

Since all are out of state, a family celebration will be held in Phoenix at a later date.

His motto was “God gave me another day so I’m going to live it.” He did just that. He will be greatly missed.
