Jose Manuel Ramos

Jose Manuel Ramos Mercado, 70, beloved husband and father, of Sugar Land Texas passed away on December 10th 2021. He was born in Manati, Puerto Rico on December 28th 1950. He was married to his wife Monika Ramos for 45 years. Jose had a long career as a chemical engineer with Dow Chemical and Jacobs.

He had a passion for nature especially bird watching and sailing. He loved spending time with his family including holiday visits and cruises with Monika in recent years. He was dedicated engineer and mentored younger professionals. Jose could always be counted on for a thoughtful conversation over a cup of coffee.
