Our cousin Juan was a kind man with a heart of gold and kindred spirit. As far back as I can remember we traveled down South to Brownsville. Regardless of our arrival time, we always had an open ending reservation at his home. He was a loving son, brother, uncle and friend. He is now home in the Kingdom of Heaven playing on the greatest golf course where there are no green fees! He will be missed dearly but never forgotten. Rest in peace dear cousin.

To the Ramos Family
As one of Juan's teachers at Porter, I will always remember him as the most courteous young man and great athlete. Even in recent years, he greeted me with so much and sincere respect. He only beat us in this race, and we will see him again, as respectful as always.
