Jay Ruberg

Jay would like to let you know that his work here is done as of August 12, 2021. He received a call, a sort of an offer he couldn't refuse, for an excursion from which he will not be returning. This assignment comes with a huge sign-on bonus, a reunion with family and friends he has not seen in a long time. Job security is exactly 110 percent. His new mission takes him to a wonderful place where he will be socializing, dancing, swimming, sailing, fishing, fishing and fishing to his heart’s content. Music (especially the Grateful Dead), laughter and love are guaranteed. The drinks are cold and delightful. He left detailed instructions for his brother, nephews, nieces, sister-in-laws, Billie Jo and many friends that were like family, to celebrate his mission here, which has now been completed. Low adherence to this mission will not be tolerated.

We want to let him know that he did a great job and wish him a safe journey. We will remember his wit, smile, fun loving energy, his love for life, family and friends. He worked very hard at selling "dreams" (aka Beach Rentals, Time Shares and Vacation Clubs), and made a difference in the lives of many that he touched. We invite you to join us and celebrate together, and as Jay would say, "Everyone dies, But ya live!! Everyday!! Till then!! Enjoy your family and friends till you cry laughing". "Shaka Laka BOOM!"

A Life Celebration for both Jay and his brother Tim, who passed away on August 1st, 2021, will take place on Sunday, September 19th, starting at 2 p.m. until 5 p.m., at Len Brown's North Shore Inn, 700 North Shore Drive, Moline, IL.

Jay is survived by his brother, Scot and Mandy Ruberg along with their son, Stephen of Sarasota, FL; sister-in-law, Andi Ruberg along with children, Mandi Patton, Sara Parsons and Ben Ruberg.

Jay's parents, Joseph and Elaine Ruberg along with his brother Tim Ruberg preceded him in death.

Family and friends are invited to share memories, post photos or video's on Jay's memory wall.
