Ramon Maldonado-Rios Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 7, 2025.
Ramon Adrian Maldonado-Rios, 89, passed away peacefully on June 21, 2025, in Hialeah, Florida. Born on April 9, 1936, in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico, he lived a life marked by dedication to education, unwavering integrity, and deep devotion to his family and faith.

A proud native of Puerto Rico, Ramon pursued higher education with determination and purpose. He earned both a bachelor's and a master's degree-an achievement that laid the foundation for a distinguished career in education. Over the years, he served as an accomplished teacher and later as a respected school principal and director. His commitment to nurturing young minds and fostering academic excellence left a lasting impact on countless students and colleagues.

Ramon was known for his honorable character and steadfast work ethic. Those who knew him admired his dependability and gentlemanly demeanor. He carried himself with quiet strength and humility, earning the respect of all who crossed his path.

He was a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Maria Josefina Rodriguez, whose memory he cherished deeply following her passing. Together they built a loving home grounded in Catholic faith and shared values.

Ramon's legacy lives on through his children: his son José Adrián and his daughter Noris Maritza. He also leaves behind three cherished grandchildren-Luz Clarita, Sofia Maria, and Kyle Alexander-who brought immense joy to his later years. His son-in-law Daniel was also an important part of his extended family circle.

A man of deep faith, Ramon was a lifelong member of the Catholic Church. His spiritual beliefs guided him throughout life's journey and provided comfort in times of both joy and sorrow.

May the memory of Ramon Adrian Maldonado-Rios bring comfort to those who knew him and serve as an enduring reminder of a life well lived in service to others. A Memorial Gathering will be held on October 14, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Del Carmen Memorial Dr. Barbosa #1, Adjuntas. Funeral at 1:00pm at the Luz del gigante cemetery in Adjuntas.
