Joel Ramos Jr., 58, passed Saturday, June 21st, 2025. Born on December 6, 1966, in Cuba, Joel immigrated to Costa Rica in December 1979 before settling in Miami, Florida in April 1980, where he lived for the rest of his life. He worked as a delivery driver for Pizza Hut for over 30 years, serving the community what he loved most: pizza. He enjoyed bird watching, was a political enthusiast, motorsport fan, and never passed up a good ol' beer. Joel is survived by his beloved spouse, Kathy Ann Lamboy; his daughters, Adriana Ramos, Melissa Ann Ramos, and Joana Ramos; his mother, Evarista Ramos; his sister, Odalys Ramos; and his brother, Yusbel Ramos. He is predeceased by his father, Joel Ramos, and his son, Joey Ramos.
