Ramon Ojeda

Ramon Ojeda, lovingly known as “Tio Eddie,” passed away peacefully in San Diego, California, on September 7th, 2024, at the age of 91. Surrounded by his loving family, Ramon’s passing marked the end of a remarkable life well-lived.

Born on February 3, 1933, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to Juan and Josefina Ojeda, Ramon grew up in New York, where he developed his love for baseball and his passion for life.

Ramon’s greatest pride was his family. He is survived by his devoted wife, Antonia, and their six children: Jorge, Lorena, Alvaro, Cynthia, Desiree, and Jasmine. He also leaves behind many grandchildren, who he loved dearly and were a constant source of joy in his life.

Ramon proudly served his country as a member of the United States Air Force and was a Korean War veteran. His military service took him across the world, which fueled his love for travel. His adventurous spirit was balanced by simple pleasures like cheering for his beloved New York Yankees, watching cowboy movies, dancing to salsa music, and singing along to Frank Sinatra classics.

A man of many talents, Ramon lived his life to the fullest, cherishing every moment with family and friends. His legacy of love, service, and passion for life will be remembered by all who knew him.
