Arturo Ramos Jr.

Arturo “AJ” Ramos Jr., 43, of Rainbow City, Alabama, passed away on February 4, 2026. After hard fought battle with cancer. Born on October 7, 1982, AJ lived a life full of volume, heart, and fierce love for the people he called his own.

AJ was a devoted husband, proud father, beloved son, and the kind of uncle and friend who showed up — loud, stubborn, and completely unforgettable. Beneath his tough edges was a deeply loyal and caring man. Those who truly knew him loved him fiercely, because he loved just as hard in return.

He found peace and joy on the water, especially with a fishing pole in his hands. Whether it was catfishing close to home or heading out for deep sea fishing, those moments were where he felt most himself.

AJ is survived by his wife of 17 years, Sommer Ramos, and their four daughters, Lindsey, Kadence, Kenna, and Kora Ramos, who were the center of his world. He also leaves behind his mother, Alma Alba (Jose); his father, Remigio Morales Jr.; his two best friends, Brent Wagner and Glenn Moore Jr.; and a large circle of adopted family and friends who became family by choice and love.

He was preceded in death by Olga Morales.

AJ’s presence was big, his love was bigger, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him. A small celebration of life will announced at later time. Special thanks to Ashley and Savannah with Aveanna Hospice, Dr. Outlaw and his oncology team at Kirklin.
