Hector Ramos

In loving memory of Hector Ramos, who passed away on November 7, 2026, after a brief yet courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Born on March 7, 1964, in the vibrant city of Los Angeles, Hector was a beacon of light and warmth to all who knew him. Hector was the beloved son of Francisca and Enrique Ramos, remembered by many as Kika and Berique. He was predeceased by his parents, his brother Frank, and sisters Aurora and Martha, all of whom he cherished deeply. A devoted husband, Hector shared 30 beautiful years with his wife Janina. Together, they built a life filled with laughter, love, and shared passions. Whether they were supporting their favorite teams, the Steelers and Yankees, or enjoying peaceful walks on the beach, their bond was a testament to enduring love. Hector and Janina were blessed with two wonderful daughters, Valerie and Vanessa, who were the pride and joy of his life. His legacy continues with his four cherished grandchildren—Dante, Ashley, Dean, and Sean—who brought him immense happiness and pride. Hector was a dedicated professional, serving the school district for 28 years. His commitment to education and his community was evident in all he did. A graduate of Garfield High School, he took pride in his work and the positive impact he had on countless young lives. Outside of work, Hector found joy on the softball field, playing alongside family and friends. His love for the game was matched only by his love for helping others. Known for his generosity and kindness, Hector was always ready to lend a hand, whether it was fixing a broken appliance, working on a car, or mowing a neighbor's lawn. His selfless spirit touched the lives of many. Hector is survived by a large and loving family, including his devoted wife Janina, daughters Valerie and Vanessa, grandchildren Dante, Ashley, Dean, and Sean, six brothers, five sisters, and numerous nieces and nephews. His family and friends will remember him as a loving, family-oriented man whose heart was as big as his smile. A celebration of Hector's life will be held on November 21, 2026, at St Hilary Catholic Church, located at 5465 Citronell Ave, Pico Rivera, CA 90660. The service will commence at 2:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to a charity of your choice in Hector's honor. The family extends their deepest gratitude to all who have offered support and comfort during this difficult time. Your love and kindness have been a source of strength, and we cherish each and every one of you. Hector's memory will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. May he rest in peace, surrounded by the love he so generously gave during his lifetime.
