Ruby-Ray Galvan

Ruby-Ray Galvan

Our precious Ruby-Ray Galvan was born on January 2, 2025, @ 9:36 p.m. at Cobra Valley Regional
Medical Center in Globe, Arizona to Faith Galvan and Julio Valesquez Jr both of Miami.
With-in an hour of Ruby-Rays birth, she was struggling to breath and was airlifted to Thunderbird
Banner Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona. Once Ruby-Ray was examined it was determined that Ruby-Ray had
some more serious health problems and needed to be airlifted again to Phoenix Children’s Hospital in
Phoenix, Arizona.

Once Ruby-Ray was examined by the medical staff it was discovered through an ultra-sound that Ruby-
Ray needed to have an emergency heart procedure as the medical staff diagnosed her with a very rare
heart condition called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. As the medical staff explained this condition
takes at least three open heart surgeries and would require medical treatment through-out her life.
Ruby-Ray underwent her first heart procedure to try and stabilize her for the upcoming open-heart
surgery. It was discovered that Ruby-Ray’s heart was more complex as she had thickening cartridge
around her heart. This prevented Ruby-Ray from receiving the needed surgeries to save her life.
On January 4, 2025, Ruby-Ray was baptized at the Phoenix Children’s Hospital. On January 10, 2025, at
5:10 p.m. Ruby-Ray was taken peacefully surrounded by her loving family as she entered the Kingdom of
Heaven. Although Ruby-Ray made her statement here on earth for the 8 days she was here, she truly
touched all of our hearts. She was so perfect and beautiful. She is with now with our Lord and surround
by many Angels. It’s been hard to accept that God had bigger plans for our beautiful girl Ruby-Ray. Our
memories of Ruby-Ray will be cherished for eternity. We will see our Angel again!

Ruby-Ray leaves behind her loving parents Faith Galvan & Julio Valesquez Jr, her Grandparents April
Galvan & Daniel Giacobbi, Brittany Gerardo & Julio Valesquez Sr., her Great-Grandparents Lois Galvan,
Audrey McGill, & Stephen and Tonia Gerardo., plus many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
Ruby-Ray was proceeded in death by her Great-Grandfather Raymond T. Galvan Jr, her Uncle Joseph
Michael Galvan (Miami), Great-Grandparents Art & Wanda McGill (Miami), Raymond (Fats), and Irene
Gerardo (Globe).
