Miguel Ruiz

Miguel Ruiz is the father of Matthew Ruiz, who died in a plane crash.

History
Miguel and his wife, Gilda, came to the hospital when their son, Matthew, was in a plane crash. At the hospital, Miranda Bailey informed them that their son's body had been identified. After he made a call to someone, they were going to leave, but after hearing that the family of the lone survivor hadn't arrived, they decided to stay. Them staying prompted several other families to stay. Lexie gave them periodic updates until her mother arrived. When Mrs. Gordon arrived, they offered her coffee and sat with her until her daughter was out of surgery. Gilda also lied and said that her son would be fine when Mrs. Gordon asked about him. After she left, Gilda began to cry.
