Ruiz, whose 11-month tour of duty was scheduled to end in September, was killed Monday when he was hit by small arms fire in Mosul. His family has made tentative plans for a wake and funeral near the Washington Heights home of his wife Alexa, but they have not scheduled a date yet.
Ruiz is one of 18 soldiers from Long Island who have been killed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the fourth graduate of Brentwood High School [F-man's almer mater] to become a casualty.
