Oscar E. Ramos: a loving husband, father, educator, friend, and cancer warrior. Oscar was born on August 25, 1961 in El Progreso, Honduras. After coming to the United States, he attended the University of Illinois at Chicago where he pursued a Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Arts and Science with a focus on International Relations, as well as Master’s Degree in ESL and Bilingual Education. Oscar was driven by his love for teaching, and passionate about mentorship among his students. Through his commitment to his work and dedication to his students, he was fortunate enough to impact the lives of many young learners.

In November of 2019, Oscar began his fight with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Throughout the last five years, he has fought tirelessly each day and became the true epitome of what it means to be a cancer warrior. Oscar is survived by his wife, Heidi; children, Jamie, Megan, and Zachary; mother, Rita; sister, Aleyda; grandchildren; and nieces and nephews. He touched the lives of many, and will be missed deeply by each of them.

The first day I met Oscar when I was invited into his home he made me feel welcome and didn't know me at all ,we laughed joked and he asked me if I knew how to grill cause he wanted me to watch what he was cooking while he lit a cigar that he wanted me to try I told him no like I'll come on try it you'll love it.. but when a man opens up his home to a complete stranger and makes him feel at home I can honestly say this is one brother that I had a good time with you will be missed rest well Oscar

Sending my deepest condolences to the Ramos family at this difficult time. I am very saddened to hear of Oscar passing. He will truly be missed by his family , his friends and those who knew him. He was a good friend of mine , a colleague and a great teacher. We worked together at Lafayette school for almost twenty years ; and I have fond memories working with him and with other teachers. We were all like a family.


I wish I can be there in person to give Heidi a big hug , but I am no longer living in Illinois. Sendíng Heidi and his kids a virtual hug from Virginia.

Mr. Ramos was an amazing teacher and mentor. I have always been a problem student which is why my dad wouldn't pay for my field trips or sometimes my dad just didn't have it or I was scared to ask my dad pay for me to go on the trip and Mr Ramos made sure that I wasn't left behind from the class to join the field trip and I always had a special place in my heart for him because of that. He helped me pass my subjects and he also use to talk to me about getting in trouble and doing my work. I will forever remember Mr Ramos❤️

Oscar was one of my very best friends in and out of work. I worked with him at Avondale-Logandale School. He was beloved by the staff and the students. He loved to teach and help others in need. I spent many hours after and during school as friends and comrades. He will be surely although I know he is in a better place. .He loved to joke, dance, and enjoyed life to the very end. RIP Oscar.
