Richard Ramos was a man who lived his life to the fullest, always singing his favorite Spanish songs. Richard's unconditional love and care for his family was his number one priority. He was generous with his time and talents, always willing to lend a hand or share a laugh. His love for his family was evident in everything he did, from raising children who were not his own, to ensuring every family member was well taken care of. His creativity was not just in his crafts, but also in the way he lived his life and the love he has for everyone close to him. His creativity extended beyond music, with a passion for woodwork and designing his own unique artwork. A man of many talents, Richard also enjoyed fishing, playing pool, gambling, and listening to music that reminded him of his beloved mother. He was a master at the grill, often found BBQing for his family. These times were the highlight of his life, as nothing brought him more joy than being surrounded by his children, family, and close friends. His laughter and zest for life made these occasions special, and his absence will be deeply felt by many.
