El Mirage Vice Mayor Joe Ramirez died in his home Friday morning.
Mr. Ramirez was originally elected to the council in 2000 and again in 2010 and 2014.
City officials saw him Thursday night at a meeting, said Amber Wakeman, Assistant to City Manager for Intergovernmental and Public Relations.
El Mirage Mayor Lana Mook released the following statement Friday afternoon:
It is with a heavy heart I announce the passing of El Mirage Vice Mayor Joe Ramirez this morning. Vice Mayor Ramirez has been a proud El Mirage resident for more than 50 years. He was a true friend to Luke Air Base and the entire West Valley and played a key role in the many improvements El Mirage has enjoyed over the past seven years. He was a son, husband, father, grandfather, visionary, and friend. On behalf of the City of El Mirage, “We’ll miss you Joe.”
Please keep the Ramirez Family in your thoughts and prayers as they move through an extremely difficult time. If you would like to reach out to the Family, you may send condolences to:
The Ramirez Family
