Joshua David RAMIREZ Obituary (2024)

Joshua David Ramirez, born on March 19, 1982, in Yakima, Washington, left this world on October 26, 2024. He was a loving father, cherished son, devoted partner, and a skilled metal fabricator known for his dedication and talent. Joshua is preceded in death by his beloved grandfathers, Angel Ramirez, Wayne Tongate and Ed Schrader, and his grandmothers, Donna Ramirez and GG Schrader. He is survived by his three beloved children, Jennifer Rodriguez, Joshua Ramirez Jr., and Kaleb Ramirez and their mother, Kea Ramirez; his parents, Jeanette Tongate and David Ramirez and his brothers, Tyler Croy, Steven Croy and Jeremy Ramirez. He also leaves behind numerous cousins, aunts, and uncles who will forever hold him in their hearts. An adventurous soul, Joshua loved spending summers with his family, camping, and enjoying the water. He found joy in exhilarating motorcycle rides and had a passion for skydiving that reflected his free spirit. Those who knew him experienced his charm and sweetness, often complemented by his infectious laugh and bright smile. He could light up a room and bring joy to those around him, whether he was being the life of the party or navigating life with the exuberance of a bull in a china shop. In honor of Joshua's memory, his family requests that friends and loved ones share their favorite stories or memories. Please email them to 82kea.r@gmail.com, where they will be compiled into a memory box for his children to cherish. As we reflect on Joshua's life, we find comfort in the words of Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take." as this was a verse he often recited and found comfort in. Joshua David Ramirez will be dearly missed and forever remembered for the love he shared and the joy he brought into the lives of so many. A Memorial Service is scheduled for Thursday, November 14, 2024 at 11:00am at Heights Church, 101 Butterfield Rd STE C, Yakima, WA 9890. A Reception will follow the service but details are pending.
