Pedro Ramirez

Pete was born on October 23, 1943, in Niles, California, and grew up in Union City, California, as the second youngest of 13 siblings.

After graduating from James Logan High School, Pete proudly served in the United States Air Force for six years. Following his military service, he married Consuelo Inocencio, and together they welcomed their son, Carlos. After the marriage ended, Pete and Carlos relocated to San Bernardino, California, where Pete worked as a school custodian and bus driver for local schools.

Later, Pete met and married Gwen Olim, who brought Steven and Jennifer into the family. Seeking a slower pace of life, Pete relocated to Paso Robles, California, where Gwen and the children soon joined him. There, he spent most of his adult life raising his six children. He worked for many years at Paso Robles High School as Head Custodian and served as Union President, forming lifelong friendships that remained strong until his passing.

After retiring from the school district, Pete worked part-time at Walmart. In 2019, he moved to Fresno, California, to be closer to the Veterans hospital and his eldest son, Carlos, and family.

Pete will be fondly remembered for his deep love of music, softball, sports, and family gatherings; his devotion to the Raiders; his model car collection; cheering on his grandchildren at sporting events and performances; admiring Joseph’s art; and his genuine enthusiasm for life.

He is survived by his six children: Carlos (50, married to Michele), Jennifer (47, married to John), Steven (44, married to Brianne), Edna (41), Marvina (40), and Teddy (36). Pete cherished his 14 grandchildren: Ryan (24), Jayden (24), Andrew (21), Jenelle (21), Jacey (21), Joseph (20), Devra (19), Sophia (19), Jakob (15), Justice (14), Mattie (13), Jennifer (12), Vallen (11), and Caralena (11). He was also blessed with bonus grandchildren whom he loved dearly. He is also survived by three siblings: Betty Hitchcock, Jess Ramirez, and Vera Ortiz. He was also cherished by many cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Please join the family in celebrating Pete’s life. A Celebration of Life service will be held at the Christian Life Center, located at 1744 Oak Street, Paso Robles, CA 93446, at 2:00 PM.
