A loving husband to Maria Urias Sanchez, Ramon was a pillar of strength and support for his family. Together, they raised 5 children: Joel, Sylvia, Norma, Ramon Jr., and Hilda. He cherished family gatherings, and his presence at holidays and celebrations brought warmth, joy and laughter to those around him.

Ramon was a skilled mechanic and had many passions in life, including the outdoors, working cattle, and crafting, whose creations were often gifts to his children, grandchildren, family and friends.
