Ramon Villalva Jr.

He was the devoted son of Cruz Villalva; beloved big brother to Ricardo Gonzales; dear brother-in-law to Annamarie Gonzales; adored Tio/Nino to Ricardo and Rylan and friend to many. He was predeceased by his father, Ramon Villalva and son, Rowan Samuel Clamor-Villalva.

Ramon was born in Phoenix Arizona and came to San Jose when he was 7 years old.

After, Ramon graduated from high school; he enlisted in the US Navy and served 10 years. He was stationed in Hawaii and fell in love with the Island. He lived there for 15 years before returning home to be closer to his mom and family.

Ramon was a big movie buff and loved everything sci-fi! He was a huge fan of Marvel & DC comics and movies. He was an awesome photographer. With his trusty camera in hand, he was always ready to capture the moment, which earned him the name “Camera Guy”. Ramon loved Bachata and Salsa and spent much of his leisure time dancing and photographing the events he attended. He loved creating memories and sharing his passions with others.

You could always count on Ramon to be there for you and make you laugh. His joking around was an expectation when he walked in a room. He appreciation the simple things in life and what matter most to him was being there for his family and friends.

In his later years, he dedicated his time to caring for his beloved mother and helping take care of his nephews. He enjoyed being an uncle and cherished every moment he had with his nephews. Ramon was a baptized Christian Apostolic who loved Jesus and enjoyed attending Sunday service with his mother. His heart was happiest when he was around his family and friends.

Our hearts are broken, but we know Ramon is in Heaven, looking down and smiling like he always did in life.

Services will be held Friday January 7, 2022 at 7pm at the 1st Apostolic Church 480 McCreery Ave, San Jose, CA 95116. Doors open at 6:30pm, reception immediately following service.
