End of Watch Tuesday, February 16, 2021.


Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

By Jon F. Hooper

Major Ramirez, you dedicated many years of your life protecting your community. It took a tiny virus to end all of that. Your unselfish devotion to your job will not go unnoticed by our good Lord, and He will reward you abundantly. May He immerse you and your loved ones in His Divine Mercy. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.

As the days go by I can't help but to remember our long talks and many laughs. Stevie, I will always remember your generous nature and wisdom. He was a good friend and a great leader and he will be missed. The lessons I learned from you will carry on in the character and conduct of the hundreds of officers who fell under your leadership and compassion. The Bell County community could not have been served by a better person. Rest in Peace 2401 we have it from here.
