Benito James Ramon, 48, of Wind Lake, passed away Feb. 11, 2020 after a strong fight with pancreatic cancer with his loving family by his side at St. Luke’s Medical Center in Milwaukee.
Benito was born June 9, 1971 to Reynaldo and Bonnie (nee Cutsforth) Ramon in Burlington. He grew up and was educated in Muskego. After graduating high school, he enlisted in the Marine Corps and served from 1990 to 1994. Upon completing his four-year service to his country, he worked throughout Waukesha and Racine County, finishing his career as a material handler at Aptar in Mukwonago.
Benito was an avid fisherman who loved the outdoors and camping. He would always be the first to suggest a bonfire. He loved all Wisconsin sports teams, especially the Packers. He also enjoyed attending Indy Car races with his family and friends. To know Benito was to know of his infectious smile, his sharp wit and desire to make people laugh. None of this would have been possible without his family and friends who he loved unconditionally.
Before Benito’s passing, he was informed by his family and friends of the “PanCan” walk at Miller Park on June 7, 2020 in honor of his fight against Pancreatic Cancer. The team will be named “Benni the Hulk” due to his love for the Avengers movies and comics and his strong spirit.
