Rudy Vincent Leyva

Rudy, an amazing heart and soul called home to be with the Lord, March 12, 2017. A brother, father, son, Tio, friend, companion, cousin, Marine Corp Veteran and so much more! He is loved and missed. He’s doing a dance in Heaven for us all today. His memory lives on in the hearts of all that had the pleasure of meeting him. We love you so much; Rest In Peace Rude Dog.

Rudy was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona to Robert and Josephine Leyva on December 20, 1983. Rudy’s parents along with his brother Andy were blessed to have him for thirty-three wonderful years and made many lasting memories with him. Rudy’s legacy lives on through Roman Santiago who is so much like his Daddy. Today we celebrate Rudy Vincent Leyva, an amazing man with a heart of gold. We will remember the laughter and smiles we shared with God’s new angel. We will miss you Rudy until we meet again! You are forever riding with us.
