Still feels weird walking into the room and not being able to say morning sergeant and you would ask me if I was still gonna join next year well Sarge here I’m am gonna make you proud this year we all will I promise.

Dear Brenda, JC, Tyler, and Ryan,

I am so sorry for your loss. I only had a short time to come to know "Jay", but I will always remember his kindness, humor, and love for all of you. Heaven gained a truly magnificent person. Know that we are all here for you and thinking of you.

Brenda, JC, Tyler and Ryan. The Lupex family is sending you so much love and prayers. Words can't express our sadness at hearing of Joe's passing. He was a family member more than a friend as we consider all of you. It's hard for me to write this because this is so out of the blue. Joe will sincerely be missed by us and all those that he touched. May God bless all of you.

I met Joey at Vance Air Force Base in Enid, OK back in the late 80s, early 90s. We lived in the same dorm and would sometimes go workout together at the base gym. He was “good people!” Still can’t believe he’s goneand gone way too soon. My deepest condolences to his family, friends and loved ones. May the loving memories of his joyful spirit comfort you in your time of bereavement.

I'm deeply sorry for all who Joey had an impact to
especially his wife, children, family and many friends.
Joey held a special place
in my heart during a
special time in our lives. We were all young (Boricua) men serving our country and living in a strange place abroad (Philippines). We had an immediate bond as Joey was always easy going with comforting confidence. Joey always seem to know what to say and when to say it; he always made everything better. He was truly a special dude! What Joey DiD Mattered and his family’s Legacy will always be with all of us. We send our deepest condolences to the Ramirez and Gallagher families and may God comfort you in this difficult time.

One Love
Izzie & Tracy Reyes

Thanks for being a great role model when the world around us couldn’t see our potential. PA092 for life.

I can’t believe I’m writing this. But you will greatly missed. You were one of the best people I’ve ever known, always kept me out of trouble and head strong always told me to follow my dreams, reach goals and smile, because I always looked mean in class, you have motivated me to be how I am today and I couldn’t thank you more. May you rest well.

I am sad to hear of Joey's passing. He was a caring man with a great love of life. My condolences to the entire Ramirez family.

May you find comfort in God's love at this time . Praying for you and your family.

MSGT. Ramirez was a great man , instructor , role model , and so much more. Through each and every day with me , and the AFJROTC Program he tried his best to push us to new limits. He wanted to make us better people , he worked so hard not only for himself and his family but for all of us. I'm blessed to have met him and known him for these past two years. I'm deeply saddened to hear that he is gone. I wish the best for his family and I pray that he is in a better place now. I'll miss you MSGT. Ramirez you were truly the best.

Our deepest condolences to the Ramirez Family. Even though we had lost touch over the years, Joey was always like a brother to me. Few words do Joey justice.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I was his student when i was at williamstown high, he was a amazing rotc teacher and got to know his students. He helped me through some tough days i would have and would cheer me up. He was a amazing, awesome and wonderful person. I wish his family the best and im truly sorry for the lost. I know the students he had are also devastated and sad. He was truly amazing. Love his former rotc student from echo class Caitlynn Ursin.

There is no word to describe the sadness me and my family felt to hear about the passing of Joe. I had the pleasure to coach with Joe. Joe was always the competitor. He always got the kids going with a positive get ready to play talks. My son Anthony loved to hear joes post game talk win or loss. It was always positive. If Joe was having a bad day , me or the kids would never know. He made you want to do your best no matter how big the obstacle was in front of you. He always had that smile on. See you one day my friend in heaven. Until then Rejoice in the Lords.

Brenda and fam, I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to all of you.

My Condolences to the family, Joey was a good friend we met serving with the 108th Maintenance Squadron, may you Rest In Peace my Brother, Jay Ruiz from the Electric Shop. Again my Condolences to the Ramirez family God Bless

I am heartbroken to hear of Joe’s passing. He was a great coach and friend. I enjoyed our talks in the dugout, he was so much fun to be around. Joe always knew how to strike the right tone with the kids, and my son Trent still talks about how Coach Joe’s pep talk after a tough game was so important to him. Ready in peace Coach. You impacted many.

Sorry to hear this news, very upsetting that a young person has been lost so early in life. We talked in the past about being stationed at Columbus AFB (at different times), used to rag each other since he was a Yankees fan & me a Red Sox guy. Deepest condolences to Brenda & the boys, may God aid them during these trying times. God bless you Joe, Rest In Peace, Mike & Sue

Brenda, JC, Tyler, Ryan and the entire Ramirez family - I cannot even begin to say how deeply saddened I am in your loss of Joey’s sudden passing.

I still remember that spark in your eyes when you met Brenda and that spark led to a beautiful marriage and family. I'm blessed to have been there sharing those moments with you.

Brenda, JC, Tyler and Ryan. We are so sorry to hear about Joe. There are no words. Thinking of you all and sending all of our love your way.

I just want to say first and foremost I am so beyond sorry for your loss. Sgt. Ramirez was my AFJROTC instructor for all 4 years at Williamstown Highschool and out of all of the teachers I´ve had in my life he was among the most impactful. He was more than just my instructor he was a friend and a mentor and a father figure and taught me so many things that I carry with me today all these years later. He could light up a room with his big smile and could make you laugh so hard it hurt. I´m forever grateful to have gotten to experience the amazing human being that he was. I was always Tupac to him and I´ll cherish that forever. May he rest in eternal paradise.

My deepest sympathy to Debra and her family for their loss.I am a co worker of her's ,may God guide and bless you all and help you find the strength and love in each at this time remember he may gone but he will never be forgotten he will always be in your hearts.

Brenda, i´m so sorry for your loss my thoughts and prayers are with you and the kids, he was an amazing roll model for my kids in AFJROTC he will be truly missed

My condolences to the family! I served with Joey in the 108th ARW from ‘01 until he retired in ‘07.

Dear Brenda and family: I am a colleague of Joey's from the NJANG @ McGuire AFB, NJ. You have my deepest condolences. He was such a wonderful and kind human being who will be missed by all who knew him. May God comfort and strengthen you during this difficult time, Amen.

Debbie, I am praying that in God you will find the courage to face the days ahead. May the love of friends, prayer and your faith bring you comfort and peace in such terrible circumstances. My deepest sympathy for your loss.

Deepest condolences to Joey family. You will be missed.

Brenda, I am so very sorry for your loss. My deepest and sincerest condolences

Joey is my best friend in the world a brother like no other we did everything together along with our families. We were there for eachother through good and bad times. I watched him marry his beautiful wife Brenda and bring his kids into this world. It saddens and breaks my heart to here my brother was taking away from me. RIP your always in my heart.

Sending my heartfelt condolences to the entire Ramirez family. Joey was an amazing person, friend & mentor. I had the honor to work with him as my Recruiting Supervisor until he retired. He treated us like family & always supported anything we needed. He was funny, but would definitely speak his mind. He will be missed. Praying for Brenda & the boys. Rest well Joey!!!

Joseph is a classmate of mine from Aviation High School, Class of 1985. I believe the last time I spoke to him was at our class reunion. I was shocked to see the news this morning. My prayers go out to his family. May he rest in peace.

Master Srgt. Ramirez taught me so much my first year in AFJROTC. He will always be one of the best people I have ever met in my entire life. Srgt. Ramirez would always make sure everyone was ok and feeling well. He would come into class everyday with the biggest smile on his face ready to teach and ready to crack some jokes everyday. Srgt. would always tell my class stories about his loving family. He would always talk about his beautiful wife. He will always be the best AFJROTC instructor.

I've had the pleasure of getting to know Joe over the years through our sons playing baseball together. I am saddened that I will never see his big smile and fist bump he gave every time he saw me. My heart breaks for Brenda and his boys. Joe was a special person and will be truly missed. Remember, although he is gone he will always be with you.

Joe Sr and I were so sorry to hear of Joes passing. Our hearts go out to Brenda and the boys.

My sincerest condolences to the family.

Brenda, I am at a loss. I am praying for you and the boys. I know how much Joey loved you all. He was such an inspiration and always regarded me as his "little bro." He made sure he protected me in High School and would check up on me afterwards. I will miss him. Love you all.

My sincere condolences, prayers & love goes out to Mrs. Brenda Ramirez, his 3 sons, his entire family, military friends & personal friends at this time. Joey was a big brother & dear friend to me while we were stationed at Clark AB, Philippines. Since we were both from NYC, he looked out for me and made sure I was protected. He was such a great person. He and I worked side by side in the same squadron/unit. We both trained at Keesler AFB, MS. I’m thankful the Lord allowed me time & space with him.
RIP my Brother! You will be missed!
Love & Light always!

Brenda, please accept my deepest sympathies. Joey, Gonna miss you, "Pucker"! Also the back and forth during NFL and MLB seasons. Was looking forward to the reunion we talked about in Vegas "after this COVID thing is over". I'll always cherish the memories of the good times we had of our time spent in the Philippines. It forged a kinship and brotherhood last remains to this day. Rest easy my brother - Uncle Pucker

My deepest condolences Brenda to you, the boys, and the family. I will always remember Joe as the guy in high school with the smile that brightened a room. Please reach out to me if there's anything that his AHS Class of '85 can do for you. RIP Joe.
