Benjamin Ramirez III

Benjamin went to be with his maker on October 12, 2013. God decided to take home and wait for his loved ones to meet up with him again. Benjamin lived most of his life in Le Grand, California where he attended the local schools and graduated. He moved to Memphis, Tennessee in 2011. He was living there at the time of his death.

He was an avid Raiders fan. Benjamin was a quiet and shy young man but had many friends. His friends missed him when he left to live in Tennessee but he stood firm and stayed because he wanted to make a better life for himself. He will be dearly missed by many family and friends. He left behind many, many good memories, “It’s not goodbye Punthy, it’s see you later, hold on tight until we meet again.”

Benjamin leaves behind his parents, Benjamin Ramirez Jr. from Atwater, CA and Abigail Galicia from Merced, CA; siblings, Alyia of Atwater, CA, Benita, Brenden and Benido Ramirez of Planada, CA; nieces, Samantha and Khloe Moreno; nephews, Joseph and Isaiah Moreno, and Ezekiel Ramirez; grandparents, Mr. & Mrs. Benjamin Ramirez Sr. from Turlock, CA; maternal grandmother, Ms. Dorothy Carrasco from Le Grand, CA; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
