Ramon Angel "Momo" Lizarraga

Ramon Angel Lizarraga our “Momo,” 18, went home to be with God on Monday, October 17, 2016. Momo was born on Wednesday, June 24, 1998 in Tucson, Arizona. Son of Mina Hernandez and Ramon Lizarraga. As a child, he loved his cowboy boots, acting out his favorite movies and occasionally busting a move. There was always a special admiration for his beautiful eyes and long eye lashes; he was a beautiful individual from the start. His smile could light up the entire room. Momo attended Santa Rita High School where he was a force to be reckoned with on the court. He took pride in being a dedicated athlete and had an elegance while playing; his talent and drive stood out amongst the rest. He was passionate in every aspect of his life. From his warm embrace, to his strong connections he had with many. His love for others was always very genuine and had no limit. He had a courageous soul and was fearless of obstacles that stood in front of him. His light-hearted banter was charming and made others feel welcomed. He was a loving father, son, brother, uncle, grandson, cousin, nephew and supportive partner to Tiffany Eader. They shared priceless memories, many laughs and had an inseparable bond. His love for her was unconditional, so different from the kind of love most of us have known all our lives, that it deserves a definition of its own. He became a father on September 2, 2016 to a precious baby boy named, Gage Ramon Lizarraga. On this day, he proved to be a strong provider, protector and devoted father. He shared the role of youngest and oldest brother, a role he cherished and proudly took on. He leaves to cherish his memory; girlfriend, Tiffany Eader; son, Gage Ramon Lizarraga; parents, Mina Hernandez (Johnny Hernandez) and Ramon C. Lizarraga; grandparents, Edward Lizarraga, Guadalupe R. Moreno and Miguel A. Moreno; siblings, Brianna A. Carrizoza, Alyssa Lizarraga, Jamie Hernandez, Abigail Hernandez, Johnny Hernandez Jr. and Jacob Hernandez; nephews, Tyler R. Chavez Jr. and Joel Tapia; as well as a host of uncles, aunts, and cousins. Going home to be with Nana Lillian Lizarraga. We are all afraid of living in this world without you, but we know you will live in our hearts forever. You have taught us the biggest lesson; a lesson God would like us all to learn, to give and love others as he did. As an organ donor, you became a hero for others by giving them a second chance at life. You have truly earned your wings baby. We will never know why you were taken so soon, even up to the last days in your life, you have made us all extremely proud. We all love you dearly and we will miss those beautiful eyes, that big smile, your incomparable laugh, and your warm embrace. Rest in peace, until we meet again handsome.
