ANTHONY ROLANDO RAMIREZ It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Anthony Rolando Ramirez on December 22, 2006 at the Children's Hospital at the young age of 12 years. Born with cerebral palsy, seizure disorders and developmental delay, Anthony has had a long fight with respiratory problems, which he finally succumbed to. Anthony was known for his bright, wide grin, his love of music and people and his zest to enjoy the life he had to the fullest. He could make your whole day better with his bright smile and infectious laugh. His love of music and unusual and funny noises could make anyone happier just watching him. Anthony will be mourned by many friends and family alike. He was predeceased by his great-aunts, Denise London and Karen Hand; great-uncles, Horace London and Winston Hand. Anthony is survived by his parents, Rolando and Karen; siblings, Karla, Alex, David and Abigail; uncles, Warren (Helen) Kowalson and their daughters, Jennifer and Jessica; Scott (Shannon) Kowalson; Michael (Delores) Kowalson and their daughters, Brenleigh, Hailey, Tianna and Alliyah; Roberto Ramirez and his children, Elisa, Teresa and Marvin; grandparents, Rolando Ramirez Rivera, Elisa del Carmen Magana, Sue Fleming, and Archie (Alexia) Kowalson; great-uncle Randy (Carole) and their daughter Barbara (Michael).
