John Eric Ramirez, age 24

Lost to gun violence on July 27, 2016 in San Bernardino, California.

His obituary reads:
"Be at ease, don't cry for me, please. I lived my life the way I felt was right, yeah I was young but oh so loved. The baby of 4 so I was loved even more. I was young and carefree with that touch of Hood in me. Since I was young there was no stopping me, I did the best I could, and I tried so hard. I took the life I was given with my heart of gold and made so many memories. Some will be better left untold. Cherish the memories you got to share with me. If you ever miss me look up to the sky because that's where I will be."
