ThinBlueNews remembers Deputy Sheriff Carlos Aaron Ramirez of the Kendall County Sheriff's Office in Texas on the anniversary of his End of Watch, Tuesday, July 2, 2019.
The Officer Down Memorial Page records that Deputy Ramirez was struck and killed by a vehicle while he and another deputy were conducting a traffic stop on Interstate 10 near mile marker 533. ThinBlueNews is summarizing ODMP's public memorial record and is not adding investigative claims beyond that source.
ODMP reports that another vehicle struck Deputy Ramirez and the other deputy before striking the stopped vehicle. Deputy Ramirez succumbed to his injuries, and the other deputy was seriously injured.
ODMP lists Deputy Ramirez as 32 years old, a U.S. Army Reserve veteran, and a three-year member of the Kendall County Sheriff's Office. ODMP also records that he was survived by his wife and two young children.
This anniversary remembrance is offered with respect for Deputy Ramirez's family, his Kendall County Sheriff's Office colleagues, the deputies and first responders connected to that scene, and the Texas law-enforcement community that continues to carry his name forward.
On an End of Watch anniversary, remembrance is more than a date. It is a community choosing to say the name, honor the service, and remember the family and agency still carrying the loss.
