By Gary Long<\/a> – March 8, 2024 Ruben Herrera, Brownsville attorney and 51ÁÔÆæ trustee who died unexpectedly March 3<\/a><\/strong> in Madrid, Spain, had a vagabond streak that took him throughout Latin America and to places around the world.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was educated in so many things, whether it was motorcycles, bull fights, traveling, geography and just significant history, you name it, the reason of why things worked the way things worked, just because he read so much,\u201d fellow attorney and friend Heriberto Ramos said from Houston earlier this week.<\/p>\n Herrera and Ramos graduated in 2000 from the Thurgood Marshal school of law at Southern University in Houston, traveled together and were close friends.<\/p>\n Herrera died of a heart attack in the early morning this past Sunday while he and his brother-in-law Octavio Olivarez were at their hotel in Madrid\u2019s historic district.<\/p>\n A memorial service is scheduled at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 16, in the Jacob Brown Auditorium at 51ÁÔÆæ. Herrera was a TSC graduate, having entered without a GED at age 28 and going on to earn bachelor\u2019s and juris doctor\u2019s degrees and to head his own successful Brownsville criminal defense law firm.<\/p>\n
