Roberto Jaime Ramirez, born on December 2, 1966, in Roswell, New Mexico, passed away on April 6, 2026, in Silver City, New Mexico, where he had made his home for over 20 years. Jaime leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and light that will never be forgotten. He lived a life full of purpose and heart, embracing every moment with a warm smile and an unwavering spirit that touched all who knew him.
Jaime was a dedicated professional and served as an Associate Broker for Enchantment Realty, where he built meaningful relationships and took pride in helping others. His work reflected his character—genuine, hardworking, and always focused on people first. He also worked part time at The Murray Hotel doing public relations and promoting the hotel. Of all the roles Jaime held throughout his life, his most cherished was that of a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Nancy. Their love was the foundation of his world, and he took great pride and joy in the life they built together. Jaime's heart extended beyond people to the simple joys of companionship—especially with his loyal dogs, JD and Nada, who were never far from his side.
Jaime proudly served in the United States National Guard, beginning in 1986 demonstrating his commitment, strength, and dedication to something greater than himself. He carried that same sense of duty and brotherhood into all areas of his life, including the deep bonds he shared with his Phi Kappa Tau fraternity brothers, family, and many friends.
Known for his radiant smile and uplifting presence, Jaime was truly a light in this world. He had a remarkable ability to make the most out of any situation, always choosing optimism, laughter, and gratitude. His passion for life was contagious, inspiring those around him to find joy even in the smallest moments.
He is preceded in death by his father, Baudelio "Bobby" Ramirez; paternal grandparents, Jose Guadalupe Ramirez; Lorenza Ramirez; maternal grandparents Ignacio D. Marroquin; Emma T. Marroquin; and Nancy's parents, Hansford; Billie Ousley.
