It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Richard Gabriel Ramirez, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, who passed away on July 1, 2026, at the age of 82.

 Richard will be remembered for his compassionate heart, steadfast strength, kindness, and deep devotion to his family. Through his warmth and generosity, he touched the lives of those around him and leaves behind a spirit that will not be forgotten. His greatest joy was found in the time he shared with his loved ones and in the cherished memories his family will carry in their hearts forever. Richard was preceded in death by his parents, Eric and Rosalina Ramirez, and his son, Richard G. Ramirez Jr. He is lovingly survived by his wife of 61 years, Merlinda Ramirez; his sons, Billy and Aaron Ramirez; his grandsons, Rudy and AJ Ramirez; his brothers, Frank and Lawrence Ramirez; and his sisters, Margie, Roseanne, and Rachel Ramirez. A devoted husband, caring father, and proud grandfather, his love and guidance will forever remain in his family’s hearts. Though Richard’s presence will be deeply missed, his legacy of love, compassion, and family devotion will continue to live on through all who knew and loved him.

 May he rest in peace, forever loved, forever remembered, and never forgotten.

“Those we love don’t go away; they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed, and very dear.”
