Ramiro Charles, beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on August 8, 2026, surrounded by his children until he entered the pearly gates of Heaven. Born on April 2, 1968, in the vibrant city of Corpus Christi, Ramiro lived a life full of adventure, laughter, and love.

Ramiro was the cherished son of Ruben Charles and the late Maria Elena Garcia. He was predeceased by his mother and sister, Rebecca Cobarruvias, whose memories he held dear. Surviving him are his devoted children, Jessica (Rick) Deleon, Ashley (Eric) Cantu, and Ramiro (Monse) Charles, who each carry forward his legacy of strength and kindness. Additionally, he leaves behind his dear sisters, Ruby Marroquin (Irma Laura) and Sylvia Garcia, and eight grandchildren who were the light of his life.

A veteran, Ramiro served his country as a submariner in the US Navy. His time in the military was a testament to his courage and commitment, values he carried with him throughout his life.

Ramiro's love for fishing was legendary. Known for his ability to fillet a fish like no other, he often shared his passion with family and friends, creating memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. A lifelong learner, he embraced every opportunity to acquire new skills, a testament to his insatiable curiosity and zest for life.

His love extended naturally to his grandchildren, whom he enjoyed spending time with and encouraging in their own pursuits. One of his greatest joys was watching track and field and cross country with them, especially because he passed on his own talents of running to them. He invested in them, taught them, and shared with them the kind of encouragement that stays in a child’s heart for a lifetime.

Those who knew Ramiro will remember him for his quick wit and boundless knowledge. He was a steadfast friend who was always ready for a good time and whose laughter could brighten any room. His presence was a source of joy and comfort to those around him, and his legacy will endure in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him.

A celebration of Ramiro’s life will be held on Friday, September 25, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. with full military honors followed by a funeral service that will be conducted at 5:30 p.m. at Guardian funeral home chapel 5922 Crosstown, Corpus Christi, Texas, 78417 where family and friends will gather to honor and remember the remarkable man he was.

As we say goodbye to Ramiro, we hold on to the countless memories and the love he shared. His spirit will live on in the stories we tell and the lives he touched. Rest in peace, dear Ramiro, knowing you are deeply loved and forever missed.
