Our beloved “Welo”, Mr. J. Guadalupe Ramos Sr., was called upon to by our Holy Father on October 5, 2015, at the age of 93. He was a dedicated and devoted husband, beloved father, loving grandfather, proud great-grandfather. Mr. Ramos proudly served his country in the U.S. Army. Mr. Ramos developed a passion for politics and became an active member in the local campaigning and election process. Mr. Ramos was a member of the Santo Nombre Society at San Luis Rey Church. “Welo” will always be remembered by his family for pulling pranks on his loved ones, his unique sense of humor, his daily afternoon naps, and always having “pan dulce” to offer whenever anyone stopped by.

Ramos, his parents Bernardino and Leonor Ramos, his paternal aunt that raised him Eluteria Gamez, his siblings Marcelino Ramos, Jose Angel Ramos, Juan Ramos, and Vicenta Mendez.
