Salomon Ramirez, 77, earned his wings on March 25, 2021. He is survived by his beloved wife: Mavy Ramirez; and his two children: Gabriel and Vanessa Ramirez.
Salomón was a Vietnam veteran, an Arizona State MBA, a proud American and Mexican immigrant - father, grandfather, brother, friend and padrino.
He embodied the border town of Nogales where he lived between Mexico and the United States – he was vibrant, spicy, and never scared to fight for what he believed in. Born in Nogales, Sonora Mexico to Salomón Ramirez and Angelica Acuña he immigrated to United States as a teenager. After graduating from Nogales High, Salomón ventured to Phoenix to attend Arizona State University and get a college degree on the persistent advice of a mentor of his in the lumbar yard where he worked.
A tireless worker Salomón would often tell stories of working in the mines in Superior while studying at ASU. He often reminisced with a debt of gratitude of the parents of friends in Phoenix who invited him over for warm meals as his daily college staples usually consisted of peanut butter and cold cuts.
