Gilbert Ramos Obituary

70-year-old native Arizonan, born in Nogales, Arizona June 11, 1952. He maintained his strength, courage, kindness and smile to his very last day. Survived by his high school sweetheart C. Odilia 'Dilly' Ramos, 3 children Katrina (Kevin), Lalo (Merlen), Peter, 3 grandchildren whom he adored Aaron, Capri, Caden and his 98-year-old father Gilberto Ramos, Sr. and a large extended family.A proud Lumberjack, Gilbert graduated from NAU in 1976 where he attended on a full football scholarship and received a degree in elementary education. He also remained loyal to Tucson High School, singing the Badger Fight Song even while receiving care from Casa De La Luz Hospice. The Happy Plumber owned Rice Plumbing Company (Ramos Plumbing). A man of strong faith he was prepared for death. A considerate man with a heart of gold, who loved his family deeply, he left only after he knew they too were prepared for his death. His unconditional love will be missed by many but especially by those who were blessed by his radiance every day. Our family chain is broken, and our hearts hurt to the core, but we rejoice in knowing that he is in the strong healing arms of our loving God. We love you Gilbert and look forward to embracing you once again.

To my childhood friend, Dilly, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband, Go Badgers, I remember him as a Football player when THS was known as "The Home of the Champions" because we were. Once a Badger always a Badger until the end, right? May you and your family remember and hold your memories of Gilbert close to your heart. May the Perpetual Light Shine upon him and may he rest in peace. Tu amiga, Estella Bonillas-Salgado
