Gary was born on May 19, 1957, to Ramon and Cruz Ramos in Fort Polk, Louisiana. He married the love of his life, Norma Ramos, and worked as a truck driver. Gary was a devoted son, husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend who was deeply loved by all who knew him.

Left to cherish his memory are his mother, Cruz Ramos; his beloved wife, Norma Ramos; his sons, Miguel Segovia and Gary Ramos Jr.; his daughters, Dora Davis and Cathy Segovia; his brother, Ramon Ramos Jr.; his sister, Ruby Kaeo; and his grandchildren, Eddie Frazier IV, La’Shon Frazier, Adalyn Ramos, Ayden Davis, Kason Ramos, Lucy Davis, and Aceson Frazier.
