Marc Andrew Ramirez

My sympathies to the Ramirez family, I wish I had the chance to truly know Marc.

I come back every once and a while and will read the entiries that people wrote about him. It is nice to see so many people were touched by such a wonderful person. It is strange to think of all the memories I have of him from this time last year. The holiday's just won't be the same without him. Though I know when I look up at the sky on Christmas morning that he will be looking down on all of us who loved him. Where ever you are Marc, Merry Christmas....

Marc...what a darling little boy I remember. You were always such a bundle of energy. Jack and you loved to ride your bikes and play soccer. I will always think of you in your LMYA soccer uniform. Our families lost touch, but there is no doubt you grew into a wonderful, caring and accomplished young man. Our prayers for you, your mother,Kathy, Michael and Megan. Kathleen, Casey, Max and Jack Rhodes.

So, I'm remembering little things about Marc. When I found out he couldn't eat dairy products, I offered him want I had - Ruby Red Grapefruit juice and he took it. I always made sure I had some at the house and would always offer it. Some times he would even ask for it. He and Kyle would just laugh and never tell me why. I found out recently that he would have preferred almost anything else. But he always made me feel as though he was looking forward to Ruby Red!! Silly Marc!!

He was the kind of friend that lifted you spirits by just being around him. He was always cracking some joke and the entire room would roar with laughter. I don't know what I or the rest of the people in his life will do with out him. I miss him terribly and I just hope he knows that. I will cherrish our time together for the rest of my life and will never be able to forget such an extrordinary individual. We are all lucky to have been a part of his life. Love you Marc....

I didn't know you as well as most of the people who signed this guest book, but I knew you well enough to consider you a friend. Your ability to make people laugh and smile is something that I will never forget. My prayers are with you and your family. Rest in peace, Marc. Sincerely, Schmidty

I wish we could've gone on another 50 miler... looking forward to seeing you on the Pacific Crest.

I'll miss you my friend,
Brian

Marc, you lived more in a shortened period of time than most people do in 80 years. I know it has been a long time since I last saw you, but I feel fortunate to have been able to call you a friend. Like everyone else I can not help but think of you and the times we spend and have a smile cross my face. You lived a superb life and you will be missed.

Marc was always a ball of excited energy, always fun to be around. He embraced every moment given to him and in the short periods that I got to know him, Marc exemplified what it is to enjoy life. I am deeply sorry for your loss, and would like to thank the Ramirez family for giving Marc's life to the world.
