Lasara - Ramiro Salazar, age 79, passed away peacefully at Edinburg Rehabilitation and Nursing Home Center on Sunday, February 23, 2020 with his loving family at his side. He was born on August 5, 1940 on a farm in Lasara, Texas.
Ramiro, at an early age, embraced his parents' love and respect for the land that sustained them. He went on to become a successful farmer in the Rio Farms, Inc. Program. Since he was a little boy he would ride around with his father on the tractor because he wanted to become a very good farmer just like his dad. His success was in great part due to his father teaching him everything he knew about farming. And eventually he did become a good farmer, fulfilling his lifelong dream and making his dad very proud. He especially took pride in always being perfectly dressed in western attire. He could be on the tractor all day and at the end of the day, he still looked perfectly dressed and clean. He was often referred to as the Marlboro Cowboy and "El Cowboy" by his friends. Even at the nursing home, he was known as "El Cowboy." He never went anywhere without his hat.
Ramiro was preceded in death by his parents, Ezequiel Salazar, Sr. and Aurelia Gutierrez, his first wife, Rebecca Brewster, and his son, Ramiro Salazar, Jr. He was very proud to be a 6th generation descendant of Salazar families who settled in South Texas as early as 1804.
