He faced every challenge with steadfast perseverance, earning the respect and admiration of his family, friends, and the community of Clute.

Leo worked for the Brazosport Independent School District as a custodian and later for the Street Department for the City of Clute until his retirement in 1999.

Leo was preceded in death by his parents, Jose Santana Ramos and Juliana Ramos Munoz; his beloved wife, Maria Inez Lopez Ramos; his brothers, Leonel Ramos and Santana Ramos; his sister, Leocadia Ramos Pena; and his grandson, Leopoldo Alejo Ramos.
