Arrieta, Inocencio “Ariel” Ramos: passed away peacefully in Dania Home, Burnaby, BC on December 17, 2020 at the age of 84 after complications from an infection which led to a sepsis state. Ariel will be lovingly missed and remembered by his beloved wife Betty (married for 57 years); his 1st son Rhoele (daughter Clea and son Rhys), his 2nd son Roy (wife Cally, sons Raphael and Gabriel), his sister Epifania "Fanny" (son Edward, daughters Rose and Raquel), his late brother Jesus' son Joswel and daughter Vangie, his youngest brother Manuel "Manny" (wife Owen, daughters Angele and Amie), and many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
Ariel was a humble man that was born on February 1, 1936 in Bauan, Batangas and graduated Law School in 1962 from Far Eastern University. He passed the Bar to practice as an Attorney in the Philippines. He immigrated to Vancouver, Canada with his wife in 1972, leaving behind a tumultuous time in the Philippines where Martial Law was declared. In 1974, finally reuniting with his young boys who were left in the Philippines, he worked feverishly in his new life where he eventually landed managerial roles for Royal Trust, Canada Permanent Trust and Montreal Trust Companies in both Vancouver and Calgary. Prior to his retirement he endeavored in the Realty and Insurance businesses. He found a closer connection to his Faith, and became a 4th Degree Knight of Columbus.
Many recognized Ariel as a very intelligent, compassionate, family loving and God revering man. He spent time playing golf, enjoyed having coffee with his friends at the Metrotown Food court, and enjoyed going to restaurants sharing delicious meals with Betty, family and friends.
