Jorge Ramos Jr., 20, Fellsmere

July 22, 2005 – November 21, 2025

Jorge Ramos Jr., 20 years old, of Fellsmere, Florida, passed away on Friday, November 21st, as a result of an off-road vehicle accident. Born on July 22nd, 2005, he was the beloved son of Jorge and Gabriela Ramos and a cherished brother to Diego, Sofia, and Diana Ramos.

Jorge was known for his humor, kindness, loyalty, and love for life. Anyone who knew him knew he had a contagious laugh that could brighten any room and a heart that made everyone around him feel seen and appreciated. He had a natural gift for making people laugh — whether it was a quick joke, a silly comment at the perfect moment, or simply the way he couldn’t keep a straight face when he tried to be serious. Jorge never took life too seriously, and he made sure the rest of us didn’t either.

He loved playing soccer, cruising in his vehicles, hanging out with friends, and spending time with his family. No matter what he was doing, he brought joy, light, and a little bit of humor to every moment. Being around him meant you were guaranteed a smile.

His memory is cherished by his parents, Jorge and Gabriela, and his siblings, Diego, Sofia, and Diana, as well as all family members and people in the community who loved him.

A funeral service will be held on Friday, November 28th at 735 S. Fleming St., Sebastian, FL 32958, with visitation from 6–8 p.m. Church services will begin on Saturday, Nov. 29th at 11 a.m. at St. Sebastian catholic Church, with burial to follow. All who loved him are welcome to attend and honor his memory.

Our family is deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this incredibly difficult time. Jorge will be forever loved, forever missed, and forever remembered in the hearts of those who knew him — and forever remembered for the laughs he gave us along the way.

January 28, 1937 – December 5, 2025

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Janice “Jan” Wiles (Perkins) on December 6, 2025.

From Snug Harbor Lakes and Micco FL, Jan was born on January 28, 1937, in Warren Pa.  She was predeceased by her husband “Wayne Perkins” and her only sister.

Jan was a teacher for 30 years in Warren, PA.  She loved all her elementary students.  She would say she never had any kids but was blessed with all the kids she taught.  She kept in touch with many students she had.

Jan loved her friends and enjoyed her life to the fullest.  She loved her community.  She loved to travel with her husband before he passed, and she continued to travel later with her good friend Tomi.

She enjoyed going out to eat with her friends George and Tomi.  One of her favorites was the Golden Corral every Thursday.

Everyone in our community remembers and loved seeing Jan riding her three-wheeler bike, smiling and waving to everyone as she passed by them.

She enjoyed going to car shows with her husband and traveling to Maine and spending a few months every year before Wayne passed.

She also enjoyed going out to see plays with her friend Toni.  She just loved life and kept busy.

Jan – we will greatly miss you and we will not say goodbye since we will see you again some day!

Rest in Peace my friend!!

Richard P. Walsh, 89, Barefoot Bay

Richard P. Walsh, formerly of Beverly, Ipswich, and Billerica MA, and most recently of Barefoot Bay, FL passed away on Friday, December 5, 2025 at age 89. He was born in Essex County, Massachusetts. He is predeceased by his wife Mary E. Walsh, his former wife Cynthia Walsh, and his brothers Dana Walsh and Robert Walsh.

He had a beautiful and happy life with his wife Mary. They enjoyed the Barefoot Bay community and spoke fondly of dancing together at the Barefoot Bay community center. He often spoke about special memories with his grandchildren. His grandchildren will remember his strange sense of humor often trying to sell them something for a dollar or asking for a quarter after beating them in miniature golf. They will also remember sleep overs with frozen yogurt for breakfast thinking they were having ice cream. HIs family have fond memories of going to Lynch Park in Beverly and spending the day together. We miss the Billerica home where the children played in the pool and grammy Mary made sure blankets covered the decks so the grandchildren didn’t get splinters in their feet.

Donations can be made in Richard’s name to the Bright Focus Foundation to provide research for Alzheimer’s a very personal battle for the love of his life.
