John referred to his wife Rosie, as his yellow rose of Texas, and even named his trucking company after her, Yellow Rose Trucking. Mr. Ramirez enjoyed the open road and long distance traveling; he passed on his love for big rigs by teaching many of his family members to drive 18 wheelers. On many long distance trips, Mr. Ramirez helped out his fellow truckers and other travelers when ever he could by giving money or a ride to next stop. All through life Rosie continued to be his true love, from the moment they met until the day he died, he will be dearly missed.
