In his spare time, he enjoyed reading the newspaper each day. He was a devout baseball and football fan which gave him a great deal of enjoyment. During football season, he quietly rooted for the Dallas Cowboys and celebrated when the team was doing well. He loved taking trips to nearby Louisiana to visit his family and also appreciated the opportunity to travel to Mexico to visit his family there as well.
Mr. Ramirez's family and friends will always remember him as someone that was serious, but always happy. He had a great sense of humor and cared deeply about others.

He is survived by his wife, Elsa Ramirez; daughter, Dalia Ramirez; sons, Luis Ramirez, David Ortigoza; brothers, Gilberto, Arnulfo, Rodolfo, Agustin Ramirez, Jr., Rene, Margarito, and Julian Ramirez; sisters, Maria Luisa Ramirez, Beatriz Ramirez; grandchildren, Isabelle Ortigoza, Lucas Ortigoza, Jacob Maldonado, and Camila Maldonado.
