Andrew Jacob Ramirez

He was born on September 17, 1993 in Phoenix, Arizona to Tony and Kathy Ramirez. After he was born, his family moved to Hawaii, where Andrew spent his first 5 years in Honolulu. Even in his youth, Andrew was a handsome young man and attracted a lot of attention with his good looks and charisma. He took Christian karate lessons and enjoyed the beach and nature. Andrew loved fishing and camping, and continue to fish even while his brother Dominick would throw rocks in the water to scare the fish away. Andrew had a big heart and would help anyone in need. He was very respectful to others even in the midst of his own personal struggles. He loved his family. His biggest joy were his daughters, Aubriana and Avery.

Andrew was very artistic - he loved to paint, draw and work out in his free time. He worked as a certified structural welder and also helped his dad Tony on the weekends with his concrete business. Dad and Andrew always teased each other back and forth while they worked: "If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch!" and "Dad's the best that ever did it!". His mom always knew Andrew was in a good mood when he sung "Dear Mama" to her, in his Tupac voice.

Andrew is survived by his beautiful daughters, Aubriana and Avery; his loving parents, Tony and Kathy Ramirez; his siblings: Dominick, Matthew, and Zoe; and his niece, Aniyah.
