It is with deep sorrow and love that we announce the passing of Ramon Porraspita Banos, a devoted father, husband, priest, artist, and friend. Ramon left this world on Friday, January 31st, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of strength, love, and wisdom that will forever live in the hearts of those who knew him.

Born on August 31, 1947, in Havana, Cuba, Ramon’s life was defined by his extraordinary resilience and courage. As a young military man, he endured years of oppression after his parents and brothers fled the country. In a powerful act of defiance and survival, he cut his own hand to escape from a concentration camp, an unthinkable act that would lead him to freedom. With incredible determination, Ramon later escaped Cuba, bringing his family along as political refugees in search of a brighter future.

Throughout his life, Ramon was a man of faith, becoming a priest who helped countless individuals heal spiritually and physically. His work brought hope and comfort to those suffering from critical health problems and other challenges. His deep faith and compassionate heart were the foundation of his life, touching the lives of many and offering them strength in times of adversity.

Ramon’s artistic talents were equally remarkable. A gifted artist, he shared his skills with his daughter, Ely, teaching her how to draw at just two years old. His creativity and artistry not only enriched his own life but also inspired those around him to appreciate the beauty in the world.

Ramon was also known for his sharp wit and sense of humor, making him a joy to be around. A lover of history and documentaries, he always sought to expand his knowledge and engage others in thoughtful conversation. His wisdom and comedic spirit made him a cherished presence in every family gathering.

Above all, Ramon was a devoted family man. He loved spending time with his loved ones, whether it was trips to the lake, buying sweets for his children, or surprising them with gifts. His devotion to his family was unwavering, and he created countless special memories that will live on in the hearts of his children, grandchildren, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Ramon’s passing leaves a profound emptiness, but his legacy of strength, faith, love, and laughter will continue to inspire and guide his family and friends. He is survived by his beloved family, who will cherish his memory and honor his remarkable life. May he rest in peace.
