Juvencio "Juby" Ramirez, 72, passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 3, 2024 in Tucson, Arizona. Juby was born in Lordsburg, New Mexico on September 21, 1951, to Juanita Chavez and Miguel Ramirez, and graduated from Lordsburg High School in 1972. 

While in high school, Juby held several jobs at the local gas stations working as a gas attendant and servicing vehicles. Wherever there was a vehicle that needed work, you did not need to look very far to find him – under the hood or underneath the vehicle. And thus began his career in the field of auto mechanics. 

Juby served in the National Guard in 1973 and then went active in the Army in 1984 until his retirement in 1999. For over nine years, he was employed by Phelps-Dodge in Tyrone as a mechanic and then worked with James Hamilton Construction. Juby moved to Bernalillo, New Mexico and was employed by the New Mexico Public School District until he retired.
