David Ryan Ramirez “Chino” – 27 years of age, passed away on June 15, 2022, from injuries sustained in an automobile accident. He was born on May 4, 1995, to David Ramirez Sr and Hilaria G. Ramirez. Ryan was the best brother, uncle, son, friend, and most importantly DAD!! He was the best dad to Nathaniel. They were best friends, stuck together at the hip! Nate was his pride and joy, and he came before anyone and anything no matter the situation. Ryan was a beautiful soul. His smile and laugh could light up a room. He was hard working, so outgoing, kind, and the most patient person. He knew no strangers. He’d give the shirt off his back to help anyone in need. He loved so hard, especially his family. He was the biggest family person! Ryan enjoyed sports and he was a sports fanatic. He was a diehard OU, Rockets, Mets, Astros, and Vikings fan. He liked working out and playing golf and cornhole. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends but more so his son Nathaniel. That was his happy place. They loved going to the ranch and being cowboys. He would always tell Nate, “It’s never goodbye but see you later.” Ryan will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
He is preceded in death by his maternal grandparents Manuel and Elvira Godines and paternal grandparents Eulogio and Maria Rodriguez and one brother Albert Ramirez.
