WHEREAS, A life lived with joy and purpose drew to a close
with the passing of Ramon Jaramillo on September 26, 2023, at the
age of 72; and
WHEREAS, The son of Francisco and Angelita Jaramillo,
"Raymond" Jaramillo was born on February 19, 1951, and he grew up on
the family farm with eight brothers and sisters, Frank, Jerry,
Arnold, Arturo, Elisa, Susie, Alma, and his twin, Lupe; he
graduated from high school in Devine in 1971, and he went on to
attend the Texas A&I University in Kingsville; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Jaramillo subsequently returned home to Devine
to tend to his family's farm; he exchanged wedding vows with Diane
Vargas on December 29, 1973, and the couple shared a rewarding
marriage that spanned nearly half a century; they became the
devoted parents of two children, Michael and Amanda, and their
family later grew to include three grandchildren; and
WHEREAS, In 1986, Mr. Jaramillo graduated from the 40th class
of the Texas Game Warden Academy; he was stationed in Rockport, and
during that time, he returned to college as a student at Texas A&M
University-Corpus Christi; in 1994, he transferred to Menard, where
he and his wife bought a small farm; engaged in his community, he
conducted a number of hunting programs for youth and volunteered at
Camp Sol Mayer, a Scouts BSA facility, in the summers; he retired
from his career as a game warden in February 2008; and
WHEREAS, While his loss is difficult to bear, Raymond
Jaramillo leaves behind many friends and loved ones whose lives are
far richer for having known him, and he will always hold a treasured
place in their hearts; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 89th Texas Legislature
hereby pay tribute to the memory of Ramon Jaramillo and extend
deepest condolences to the members of his family: to his wife, Diane
Jaramillo; to his children, Michael Jaramillo and his wife, Deana,
and Amanda Goodson and her husband, Sam; to his grandchildren,
Lane, Haylee, and Paylin; to his siblings, Jerry, Arnold, Arturo,
and Lupe Jaramillo, Elisa Salinas, Susie Dandridge, and Alma
Sepulveda; and to all others who mourn his passing; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for his family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns this
day, it do so in memory of Raymond Jaramillo.
