Offer Condolence for the family of Marco A. Ramirez, “Our Captain”
I have had the honor & privilege of knowing Marco & him allowing me to be his friend. The imprint he left behind in my life will be forever cherished & valued in my heart. My most heart felt condolences to the Ramirez family for this loss; even though I am miles away the pain in my heart is no less. Rest in peace my friend and look down on us from time to time you will be dearly missed.

So sorry for your loss and it’s been many many years since we seen and communicated but I know my cousin Marco is in a better world than the one he left and he will be watching over his Mother and his siblings from above with his heavenly father God bless Maria and to the family.
I first met Marco when he was working for Turano Bakery. I was impressed how nice and polite he was compared to many other young men his age. For whatever reason he started to call me Uncle Lenny and I felt honored to be called that. He will always have a place in my heart and I think of him often. My condolences to The whole family Marco will never be forgotten.
Marco seemed to be a fun guy, I having had the opportunity to go paintballing with him. When my brother passed away he traveled to NJ for the funeral. I met him because of my brother. I hold respect for Marco for having done that. I am sad that I could not connect with him more, perhaps because of my own insecurities. I send my condolences to the Ramirez family and will work to pay my respects as he did for my brother.
Marco was a co-worker at Navistar, but much more. Whenever I talked with Marco he was always very polite and wanting to help. Whenever I needed something he would do whatever it took to help me. When I was in the building I would always make it a point to see Marco even if we did not have any business to do. I considered Marco a friend. He will be missed. Rest In Peace Marco!
May god bless you Marco I know your going to be missed by everyone I’m glad I had the pleasure of knowing such a nice guy like my nephew Marco I’ll always remember all the good times ,all the birthdays at my aunt Maria’s house , when we were young so many good times . It’s going to be very hard for all of us not to see your smile but we can be rest assured you won’t be suffering anymore I won’t say goodbye but one day we will all be together again we will always love you and will never forget you Marco
I had the privilege to work with Marco at Navistar. We met each other in 2014 when I needed his help to fix some trucks. I remember how I truly enjoyed working with him. Whenever I needed any help while we worked in Woodridge facility, he was so helpful, and I learned a lot from him. Very soon we became friends and whenever I was in Woodridge, I made sure to stop by his desk to catch up and joke around. Frequently we used to go grab Polish food from a nearby deli for lunch. Marco, you will be greatly missed, my friend! Rest in peace! My sincere condolences to Ramirez family!

My sincerest condolences to the Ramirez family. I am sending prayers that you may have peace.
My deepest condolences to your family, from ours here at Navistar.

I occasionally worked with Marco at Woodridge. He was always helpful and kind and went out of his way to help me even though I was a guest there. I am so sorry for your loss. May the Lord give you comfort.
I got to know Marco a few years ago when I moved to a new position within Navistar. Marco was always very pleasant to deal with. He was helped me several time with work I needed done at the Woodridge facility and I did the same for him when he needed help at Melrose Park. I’m so sorry to hear about his passing and my condolences to his family and friends.
