Obituary for Ramiro Ramirez
Ramiro Gonzales Ramirez
Ramiro Gonzales Ramirez, 80, of Altus, went to be with his Lord Friday, July 3, 2020, at his home surrounded by his family.
Ramiro was born in San Carlos, Coahuila, Mexico, on August 28, 1939, to Jose Ramirez and Francesca Gonzales.
He was raised near San Carlos, Mexico. Ramiro grew up on a farm and helped raise goats. At the age of 10, he was napping in a field under a tree and had a dream that if he came to America and worked, he would be blessed with land, a beautiful wife, lots of children, and more tools than you could imagine. While growing up in Mexico, he met Pastor Trenne, who helped establish Ramiro's foundation of strong faith in Jesus Christ. In 1954, Ramiro's father, a judge in San Carlos, was assassinated. This left Ramiro as the patriarch of his family. He then helped provide for his mother and eight siblings. In the search for a better life for his family, Ramiro traveled to America at the age of nineteen, where he worked as a farmhand. Upon returning home to Mexico, he was quickly asked to come back to America by his former employers, who were impressed with his hard work and dedication.
Ramiro met his wife Alicia Huerta, in Texas. They were united in marriage on August 22, 1967, in Altus, Oklahoma. The Ramirez family made their home in the Olustee / Elmer area. Alice and Ramiro were blessed with six children; three boys and three girls.
He enjoyed sports (especially boxing and baseball), singing, telling stories, reading his bible, being in worship to the Lord whether it was in Church, or anywhere else. Ramiro would always give his family this advice, work hard, love each other, and never forget God first.
Ramiro was preceded in death by his Father, Jose Ramirez, Mother, Francisca Gonzales; daughter, Alice Francis Ramirez; brother, Jesus Ramirez; Sisters, Zuelema Barrera, and Consuela Duarte.
Left to honor Ramiro's memory are his wife of 53 years Alicia Huerta – Ramirez, three Sons, Javier Ramirez, Ramiro Ramirez, Jr, and wife Penny, Ricardo Ramirez; two daughters, Mary Rios and husband Raul, Teresa Ramirez; two brothers, Reymundo Ramirez, Jose Pepe Ramirez; two Sisters, Consuelo Torres, Francisca Zapata, ten Grandchildren, Anna Alicia Rios, Raul Rios, Jr. Jonathan Ramirez, Nina Gabriel Fling and Tyler Edward, Abigale Ramirez, Jordan Ramirez, Morgan Ramirez, Hugo Rios, Jr. Adriana Lee Rios, Titus Rios, Brooklynn Kay Ramirez; Seven Great – Grandchildren, Alyssa Bell, Olivia Rios, Sophia Martinez, Evelyn Grace Fling, Candence Ramirez, Jamiah Rios, Genesis Rios.
A prayer service will be held Sunday, July 5, 2020, at Lowell – Tims Funeral Home in Altus, Oklahoma.
Funeral services will be 10:00 a.m., Monday, July 6, 2020, at Templo Jardin del Eden in Olustee, Oklahoma, with interment to follow at Olustee Cemetery.
