Seamues Jose Ramos Seamues Jose Ramos completed his earthly journey on April 30, 2021 after an intensive fight with COVID-19. Seamues was a fighter. Just like he had given everything he had to overcome the adverse effects of this novel virus, he put everything he had into providing the best life for his surviving children and the ultimate treasure of his life, his Wonder Woman, Laurie. Additionally, Seamues would not want us to forget his partner in crime, Odin the Wolf Dog, who dearly misses him. Seamues was born in Torrance, Calif., on June 16, 1966 to his surviving mother, Freda, and father, Jose. Seamues grew up primarily in West Valley City. He was the oldest of six children.

home in Santaquin, where he has thrived for the past 26 years.
