Ehh, Jaune talked about his mom in the present tense and his dad. Ruby has not mentioned her mom in the present tense, though their dad is clearly mentioned in a fashion that suggests he is alive in Episode 3. I think it is reasonable to say Ruby's dad and Jaune's parents are alive. Personally, I imagine the only ones to likely have a dead parent or two other than Ruby are Blake and Weiss.
