Nicholas “Nick” Ramos

February 12, 1945 — March 27, 2023

Nicholas “Nick” Ramos passed away March 27, 2023 from natural causes. The son of Nicholas and Jane (Lozano) Ramos, he was born February 12, 1945 in Waco, Texas. 

Nick attended and graduated from La Vega High School and attended Hill Junior College on a music scholarship. He was a member of the Junior and the Starlites band playing lead trumpet, a passion his son later enjoyed. He married Karen (Hunt) Ramos December 26, 1983. 

Nick worked in sales for a variety of custom van companies and outside sales. He was a long-time member of St. Vincent De Paul Catholic charity at St. Patrick Catholic Church and a parish member. Nick had a devotion to his children and family. He was proud of his children; daughter Lauren who had recently been promoted to Social Media Manager at Daltile Corporation and John, the owner of Urban Chicken Inc., whose company reached a 10-year milestone. Nick loved watching sports and listening to Tejano music. He was known for his humor, quick wit and desire to help others. Nick was a man of few regrets, but undoubtedly would have regretted not walking his daughter down the aisle in November.
