Tomas Fantauzzi Ramirez was born to the late Roque Fantauzzi and Dolores Ramirez in Maunabo, Puerto Rico on March 7, 1934 and peacefully passed away at home surrounded by his family on April 27, 2022. He moved from Puerto Rico to California at the age of 18 and soon after settled in Delano, California. He worked as a supervisor in agriculture for approximately 50 years and was well known and active in the farm labor community.
Tomas was blessed with a large and lovely family. He married the love of his life, Estela Sotelo, on November 10, 1974 and they had two children, Scharline and Tomas Ignacio. Tomas enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren. He also enjoyed fishing, hunting and watching sports, especially his favorite teams, the San Francisco 49ers and the San Francisco Giants. He enjoyed barbecuing and making Lechon during holiday festivities. Tomas was kind, soft spoken, was always smiling, laughing, and joyful. He was lovingly known as “Honey” within his family and “Chico” with his comrades at work. He also enjoyed spending time with his in-laws which viewed him as a father figure.
Tomas is survived by his wife, Estela; his daughter, Scharline and spouse, Ben; son Tomas Ignacio; his grandchildren, Artmika, Artnecia, Arturo Jr, Walker, Christian, Pierce, Maddox and Santiago; his brother Cecilio and sisters Rosalina and Matilde.
