Ramon L. Natividad, 83, of Pecos, Texas, passed away on March 13, 2025, in Odessa, Texas.

Ramon was born on November 1, 1941, in Saragosa, Texas, to Eustaquio and Teodora Natividad. He married the love of his life, Rachel Salcido, in November 1963 in Pecos, and together they built a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.

Ramon worked in various positions in the oilfield industry working in many states and overseas then later retired from Loffland Oil. After retirement, he continued working for PBTISD in the Transportation Department as a driver and mechanic.

Beyond his hard work, Ramon had a passion for mechanics, especially building and customizing lowrider cars. He took pride in his craftsmanship and loved working under the hood, bringing his creativity to life. He also enjoyed spending time outdoors, cooking BBQ, asado and many other tasty meals, camping and hunting, making countless memories with family and friends. Ramon was known for his love of dancing, always ready to take the floor with Rachel or anyone willing to share a twirl. His infectious sense of humor and storytelling made him the life of any gathering—he never missed an opportunity to crack a joke and bring a smile to those around him.
