Rocky Louis Ramos

Rocky Louis Ramos went to his heavenly home on April 11, 2024. We know what a reunion it was upon his arrival with his loving parents yet the grief of his loss is overwhelming.

Rocky was born in Tampa, Florida to Augusto and Hope Ramos. The family moved to Atlanta when Rocky was young and he grew up in Decatur, GA with his beloved older brothers, Michael and Cookie. The Ramos family was well known and very involved in their community. Rocky could always be found during his childhood summers at Medlock Pool or playing numerous sports in the community. He attended Shamrock High School and graduated in 1980. Rocky was a varsity athlete known for wrestling and playing football. After high school he went to work for Rich's department store selling big ticket items like stereo and television equipment. Rocky was formerly married to Susan Morrison and they had a successful video production company for fifteen years. In recent years he owned a landscaping company and did HVAC work. Rocky prided himself as being a jack of all trades. "He knew a little about a lot of things" is something he always said.

His greatest accomplishment in life were his three children, Rocky Nicholas Ramos (Olivia), Michelle Ramos Lane (Hunter), and Lillie Ramos Thompson (Trip). He loved knowing all three of his children found the love they were always meant to find in their spouses. He was a loving and devoted father, always present for everything in his children's life. When you think of a great man, Rocky comes to mind because of his selfless generosity, kind nature, and easy going spirit. Rocky was known for being a dance, softball, cheerleading, and football dad. He was the best cook and loved feeding and housing his kids and their many friends. Rocky's house felt like a safe place and home to so many and was filled with laughter and memories that those still here will never forget.

Rocky's legacy will be carried on by his children and grandchild, August Rose Ramos, as well as his beloved nieces (Stephanie, Danielle, Charlotte, Natalie), nephew (Michael Jr) and large extended family of aunts and cousins.

A celebration of Rocky's life will be held on Tuesday- April 16th, 2024 at Snellville Community Church, formerly Snellville United Methodist.

*** Visitation at 1pm, followed by celebration of life at 2pm and all are invited to a reception following the service in Wesley Hall.***

In lieu of flowers, one of my dad's favorite charities was The Amanda Riley Foundation. Please consider donating in Rocky's honor to help support childhood cancer patients needing a smile brought to their face. This is an amazing 501c charity close to the Ramos families heart!
