Ruben Naterra

Our father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, Ruben Naterra, left this world on November 3, 2023. Ruben was born on May 21, 1957, to Porfilio and Alicia in Stuttgart, Germany, where his father was stationed in the Army. Throughout his dad's career in the Army, he moved to several parts of the United States including Sierra Vista, Arizona, where he spent his high school years playing football and excelling in basketball. Ruben then moved to Tucson, Arizona, where he spent the rest of his adult life and started his 47-year career with Safeway, where his love for hard work, people and working with others began. He had a great love for his family, kids and helping others. His passions included sports, lifting, trucks and especially the Dallas Cowboys. Ruben is survived by his three children, Brandon, Ericka and Sean; two grandsons, Johnny and Alijah and unborn grandchild, his brother, David and his sister Yvonne.

Celebration of Life will be held at Holiday Inn, 620 E Wetmore Rd, Tucson, AZ 85705, Saturday, November 18th, 2023 at 2:00 PM. Please wear your favorite football jerseys or team shirt to honor Ruben.
