Miguel Angel Ramos Perez

Miguel Angel Ramos Perez passed away at his home on February 13, 2022. He was 66 years old.

Miguel came to the U.S. at the age of 8 with his parents and 9 siblings. He graduated from Cal Poly University SLO where he earned a bachelor's degree in Crop Science and went on to manage his own strawberry farm in Watsonville. In addition, he provided consulting to growers in different countries. In business he was a curious and creative person. There was nothing he could not create or fix with a little effort because he was good at thinking outside the box. Miguel had a great love for his family and extended family in Mexico, and was instrumental in maintaining family closeness.

He adored his children and grandchildren. He enjoyed having first his children, and later his grandchildren, at work and sharing tractor rides and walks along the strawberry rows and of course eating the ripest berries as they went along. In his last days he wanted them to be near him, and said that children made the house a home. He loved listening to Audrey play the piano, and watching Nevaeh and Bella's gymnastics, and hearing Acucar singing and dancing. He made an impact in the lives of all those he touched. He will be greatly missed by all and most especially by his family.

We love you, Miguel.

His is survived by his wife, Irene B. Ramos of 41 years of marriage; son Balam Quitze Ramos; daughters, Nathania Ramos and Acucar Margarita Ramos; and 6 grandchildren: Audrey Emma Ramos-McCoy, Nevaeh Angela Ramos-McCoy, Bella Sophia Ramos, Maverick Finn Wichmann, Liam Sawyer Wichman, and Lucie Micaela Wichmann; and 6 siblings.

Visitation will be held at Mehl's Colonial Chapel on Monday, February 21, 2022 from 5 to 9 pm. Mass will be celebrated at Valley Catholic Church with burial to follow at Valley Public Cemetery.
