SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 101
In Memory
of
Ramon Jaramillo
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 State of Texas, 89th
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.
