Ramos

On the morning of April 19, Frank Ramos went to be with the Lord. Frank was born in Friona, Texas on Jan. 1, 1957, to Rosendo Ramos and Ostolia Sanchez.

Frank was a resident of Dimmitt for 50 years of his life. He worked at Dimmitt Printing for 40 years despite being fired at least four times; he became a beloved part of the shop. He met his wife, Tina Sullivan, at Allsup’s at the age of 27 buying mints almost every day in pursuit of Tina’s 19-year-old heart.

Together they had three children, Tabitha, Natacia and Blake of Dimmitt, although biologically his niece, beloved as a daughter, Maria Phelps (Chuvalita) is included among the siblings.

On Aug. 18, 2003, Frank surrendered his life to the Lord Jesus Christ. He loved the Lord with passion and faith, pursuing the heart of Jesus daily was his desire, sharing the transformative power of Jesus with many was his legacy. He was a drummer and loved his music, so much that he played the drums in the car using straws as his drum sticks. His time on the praise and worship team as a drummer with Pastor Abel Vargas were some of his most cherished moments. He was a minister of God’s word at the Castro County jailhouse every Sunday for 18 years, sharing the love of God and encouragement he had for his guys/gals, as he would say was something, he would look forward to every Sunday. Everyone who knew my dad encountered the Love and Grace Of Jesus Christ, he loved all, and they loved him.

He is survived by his loving wife of 40 years Tina Sullivan- Ramos; his three angels, Tabitha, Natacia, and Blake; siblings, Martina Lopez, Jesse Ramos and Billy Ray Ramos; and various extended family and all those he led to Christ.

A Celebration of Life Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, April 25, at 2 p.m. The Ramos family will receive friends and family from 1 to 2 p.m. at the Abundant Life Family Church of Dimmitt. Funeral and cremation services have been entrusted to Colonial Funeral Home of Dimmitt.
