Ramon attended Ft Stockton schools and was a life-long Ft Stockton resident.
In April 1951 Ramon enlisted in the US Army and served until April 1953 after which he served in the reserve for two more years.
Upon his return, he married his sweetheart, Angelina Bueno, in 1954 and was blessed with four children. Ramon was a very loving, caring, and compassionate man. He loved his family fiercely and encouraged and supported them in all their endeavors. Ramon was active in the school PTA, Boy Scouts, and various community and church events. He took great joy being the family videographer as his children grew and had families of their own. He could be found attending all his grandchildren’s activities and family events - always with his video camera in hand.
