Anthony Herrera Ramirez

Anthony H “Tony” Ramirez, 71, of Las Cruces, New Mexico, passed away on December 20, 2025.

Tony spent many years working in construction, where he was known for his strong work ethic and dedication. He later enjoyed a well-earned retirement from the Las Cruces Public Schools, a chapter of life he truly embraced.

Above all else, Tony’s greatest joy was his family—especially his grandchildren, Julian, Isaiah, Eve, Jacob, and Andrew. He cherished every moment spent with them and could most often be found proudly attending their sports games, chess tournaments, and marching band performances. Whether cheering from the stands or simply being present, Tony showed his love through unwavering support.

In his free time, Tony was an avid sports fan who enjoyed watching just about every sport imaginable. He was especially devoted to the Atlanta Falcons, the San Francisco Giants, NMSU Aggies, and the Portland Trail Blazers. Game days were always better with Tony around.

Tony will be remembered for his warmth, loyalty, and the love he poured into his family and friends. He will be most remembered for his entertaining conversations and humorous antics. His presence, encouragement, and enthusiasm for life will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

We invite all who knew and loved him to join us in celebrating his life. A viewing and rosary will be held on Monday, January 5th at 6:00 pm at Getz Funeral Home. Mass on Tuesday, January 6th at 10:00 am at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Tortugas, NM followed by burial at St Josephs Cemetery (St Genevieve’s)
