[name_m]Colonel[/name_m] [name_m]Rubert[/name_m] " [name_m]Rueby[/name_m] " [name_m]Darnel[/name_m] Hillenburg (64) is [name_f]Ava[/name_f] Grace’s godfather and brother of [name_u]Addyson[/name_u], [name_u]Lee[/name_u], and the other siblings. He’s GiGi DeeDee’s son and [name_u]Addyson[/name_u] is [name_f]Ava[/name_f] Grace’s godmother. [name_m]Rueby[/name_m] broke some tradition of his own, he was never married and is child-free. However he does have a woman who is his life partner. He joined the military at 18 and met her in his late 20s when he came home to his family. The couple really never got to settle down until he retired and the more he visited, the less interested she was in marrying him. It’s not that she didn’t love him, it’s more of a mutual decision that marriage is not for them and they prefer life partnership more. They’re now enjoying living together as life partners but [name_m]Rueby[/name_m] and his lady still respect those who are married with children.
Despite having no kids, he’s happy to be the godfather of [name_f]Ava[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] since he introduced [name_u]Addyson[/name_u] to her friend, [name_f]Ava[/name_f] Grace’s grandmother. [name_m]Rueby[/name_m] loves Addyson’s fun house and gets along with her new spouse and children. [name_m]Rueby[/name_m] has heard about the date offer and since he is also going to Addyson’s party, he’s in on the idea, although he’s not as involved as the eldest sibling. People love to hear the eldest’s perspective on the matter, especially [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] herself, because she remembers having a child for the first time and how that perspective is. Sometimes [name_m]Rueby[/name_m] is called “Uncle Rueby” by [name_f]Ava[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], which he finds to be a warm compliment.
