Ramon Adolfo Perez

Ramon Adolfo Perez was born to Emma Cueva Perez and Higinio Ramon Perez Colin on August 6, 1946, in Anahuac, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. He had six sisters and brothers (Teresa, Lola, Elia, Rogelio, Lupe, and Nena.) Early in life, he and his large family lived in a house with a grass roof. It was located on a farm, that his parents owned, about three miles out of town. When he was a little boy, he and his grandfather slept together in a room off the main part of the house. As a child, his grandfather would put him up behind him on a horse and ride him into town. I guess that’s where he got his love of horses from. Later, they moved to town, but they still kept the farm where they raised cattle and grew crops like cotton and corn. It was on this farm that he started learning to be a hard worker at the tender age of five.

As a child, Ramon always dreamed of coming to America and riding on big airplanes. And that’s exactly what he did. After finishing San Bernardo College and working at several good jobs in Mexico, he decided to listen to the calling deep inside his soul and cross the river for America. The first time he crossed, the authorities threw him out. But that did not stop him…he came right back.

In America, he eventually found a good job with a construction company, DMC, where they hired him even though he spoke very little English. He met and married Estella in Houston, Texas whom he had his first child (Griselda) with. After only a few years, his first marriage failed. In his second marriage with Ester, he had two sons (Roswell and Luciano). Ester and he started their own landscaping and painting business in Florida. There, they both became saved Christians spending their weekends cooking for and feeding hungry people under bridges. To his dismay, after eighteen years of marriage, Ester died of cancer bringing their business and all they had built together tumbling down around him. That’s when he went back into the construction industry for DMC.

Years passed. Nine years later, it just so happened that he was sent to work at a job site in The Woodlands, Texas. There he met his future wife, Patricia, who was the construction site secretary. Every day, for nine months, he would talk to her each morning while drinking his coffee before he went to work and then saw her off every afternoon. The two became inseparable…best friends. When the job was almost finished, they realized that he would be sent to another site far away. So, on their first date, they decided to get married. And so, they did. On November 21, 1998, they had a church wedding in New Caney, Texas with God and all their family and friends present.

In 2002, he and Patricia purchased property in Elgin, Texas. There, they wished to build their dreams together. So, they did, and transformed the desolate property they bought into a beautiful park. The park, named the Buena Vista RV Park, has been open since September 2006 and, is to date, full to capacity. He and Patricia also have been raising their seven year old grandson, Zion, and have adopted Elizabeth Perez who is now three years old. God has certainly blessed this man.

A Visitation was held on Saturday, December 4, 2021, at Providence-Jones Family Funeral Home followed by a Celebration of Life. Interment will take place in Anahuac, Nuevo Leon, Mexico at a later date.
