Juventino Ramirez, 72, Our Lord did a roll call on his angels and decided he needed another angel in heaven by his side. Mr. Ramirez was a dedicated family man who worked all his life to support his family. He worked for Modern Machine Shop most of his life as a welder and painter. He was quite the handyman, even built his own home from the ground up. He enjoyed barbecuing and spending time with his family. He taught us all about respect and dignity and in order to have what you needed, you had to work hard for it. In his own words, "nadien te da nada en esta vida". He was the best father to his children and the greatest husband to his love of his life. After retirement, he dedicated his life to taking care of his lovely wife. He was our hero and the strongest man alive. He was a person with a very contagious laugh and loved to say jokes to make people smile. Our father was loved by everyone he met. You are now at peace dad and thanks to you the Ramirez family has a solid foundation. Thank you for being such a good person in life dad.

Mr. Ramirez is survived by his wife; Oralia Ramirez, children; Tino (Myriam) Ramirez, Mary (Guillermo) Medrano, and Gerardo (Mayra) Ramirez, 3 grandchildren, sisters; Bertha (Eleuterio) Mendez, Argelia (+Roberto) Juarez, and Graciela ( +Elias) Chavez; as well as numerous family members and friends. He is preceded in death by his parents, Pedro Isaac Ramirez and Maria del Refugio Ramirez; madre de crianza, Porfiria Ramirez.
