Estuvo destacado en Ukiah, California, y luego fue transferido a Camarillo, California, para el resto de su servicio. La familia lo llamaba Ramiro, pero con sus amigos y el resto del mundo se llamaba Jose. Era amoroso, cariñoso, divertido y tímido. Se sentía como un protector, queriendo asegurarse de que tu voz fuera escuchada y defendía a aquellos que sentían que no tenían voz. Cuando hablabas, él se aseguraba de que las personas alrededor guardaran silencio para que pudieras hablar y tener el espacio. Era honesto y te decía si algo no se veía bien. No le gustaban las grandes multitudes, pero una vez que se sentía cómodo en un grupo, se volvía extrovertido. Él intentaba asegurarse de que todos se sintieran incluidos y te escucharía si lo necesitabas. Cuidó a su mamá cuando estaba enferma y ayudaba en la casa. Cuando lo necesitabas, él estaba allí para ayudarte. Cuando era pequeño, participaba en el fútbol de la liga infantil y en la secundaria jugaba al fútbol americano. También sabía patinar sobre hielo y, si tenías miedo, te tomaba de la mano y te guiaba. Amaba a todos los animales y prefería el aire libre; soñaba con trabajar en parques nacionales y poder estar en la naturaleza. En su tiempo libre le gustaba trabajar la madera y construía casas para pájaros. Tenía tantas ideas de proyectos que quería completar y le encantaba aprender sobre historia, especialmente sobre la época medieval. Se interesó en la política y le encantaba debatir con la gente. Llegó a amar la cocina y disfrutaba la satisfacción al ver que te gustaba un plato que él preparaba para ti. Ramiro, es difícil poner en palabras todo lo que nos enseñaste. Sé que cada persona que te conoció, tú has cambiado su vida o perspectiva de una buena manera. Has esparcido tu corazón en cada alma. Ramiro, te extrañaremos profundamente, pero nunca te olvidaremos. Tu amor, tu risa y tu espíritu siempre serán parte de nosotros. Descansa en paz.
