Vincent Ramos, 31

I was blessed to have met Vincent Ramos on my birthday... June 5th, 2009. I took him out on his first date as a man : ) We witnessed the Lakers win their Championship in 2009. We spent many fun times together. Vincent was an amazing human being with a gentle heart. Those who speak negative, have no clue! Get it right before you post your comments.
A tragedy can befall anybody anytime and we are required to express sympathy with the affected people, with that said, this is for his family, friends and especially his brother Sporty who isn’t here to mourn his twin. My heart goes out to you in your time of sorrow. Casper was a beautiful person with a good soul. I will cherish every moment spent with him. I believe God saw him getting tired of his struggles and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around him and whispered "come to me".

Casper will truly be missed but never fogotten.

Crystal, God put his arms around him and had him shot?? If God wanted him why did he not just die in his sleep?

JJ, when someone says the code words of "only god can judge" or "god called him home", I get quite suspicious.

As always there seems to be another story to this.

he was a kool ass homie he was always calm never wanted to start stuff with no one he will always be in our heart see u when my time comes

I'm not here to explain a story for you who didnt know.

JJ: Yes, sometimes bad things happen to people who seem undeserving of them. But God allows things to happen for his reasons, whether or not we understand them. (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Suspicious of people you don’t even know… You need to get a life “syscom3” & get off the board!

JJ there is no answer to the your question of why God decided Vincent's death to be a gun shot to the chest rather than him dying in his sleep. Why was an innocent child hit by a car and dragged a mile instead of dying in her sleep? Things happen and all we know for sure is that they are not here anymore. As family and friends our only comfort is to believe that he is with God now. Vincent was my cousin who I haven't seen in many years and I didn't know him at all but I am still affected by this tragedy. I have family that I am close to who were close to him who are truely saddened, as we should all be because S**t happens and no one is promised tomorrow. It could have been you or me or anyone of us. This is the world we live in and all we can do is prepare ourselves for when the day comes when we no longer occupy this earth yet live eternally in peace and happiness with GOD!

Yes Crystal, my thoughts exactly.

r.i.p casper

first of all the truth is that Casper was a known gang member from BST 4th st and he wss not a good human being! him and his twin brother were always Terrorizing the streets of Long Beach. so crystal who ever you are don't sit there and write that he was this saint because he wasn't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i miss you daddy! your gone but never forgotten i love you il see you up there baby! <3 your one and only

I've known tha twins for a few years now and they were always very sweet n kind guys! Very sad to know that one of them has passed on, my prayers go out to his family n other friends, may he rest in peace........

Liz

Interesting how the loved ones and associates of the deceased think he was a wonderfull person.

Yet the people who get terrorized by the same person think otherwise.

Thats why probing questions should be made for each death. If the deceased was a gangster, then dont sugarcoat his life.

Crystal.. I semi have to agree with the Loco guy up there.."first of all the truth is that Casper was a known gang member from BST 4th st and he wss not a good human being! him and his twin brother were always Terrorizing the streets of Long Beach. so crystal who ever you are don't sit there and write that he was this saint because he wasn't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I dont know about terrorizing the streets,,however, I do know he was a known gang member... from BST...heavily tattooed was recently released from prison...and his mother's home is a known Gang house.. either way RIP

i agree with lc lokz and really........
them boys were no good to this society, all they did was cause problems with people. it's very sad what happened to him i also agree but crystal don't sugacoat nuthing because you and i both agree he wasn't a very nice person to be around!! and i honestly think the only reason y u are defending him is because you slept with him! it's pretty simple you were one of his hoes. and mrs. casper i feel sorry for you...........

shelly (you hoes know who i be!)

damn im tired of reading syscom3 comments..what about ya'll?? lol..i know its freedom of speech but damn can we block him and his comments every now and then

Wow!, It's so funny how it's always the people who know these thugs that preach how sweat, loving and cool they were until you get the full story about them, then you know what they were all about, then I started thinking like; "What law abidding citizen do I know, or anyone know?, that would want to go by Casper, or would even want people calling them Casper";None!!, karma always seems to bite these thugs in the butt one way, or another, so I really hope his twin consider doing things in life a little different... I'm Just Say'n

Syscom3,

Everytime I read comments on anyone's page....it's obvious you HATE gangerbangers...i understand your feelings...but u forget what people are to each other is never the same...is it confusing to u that even as a GANGBANGER....they can love and be nice and loving to their family and friends....why do you feel like they have no value...there are good hearted people that do bad things all the time(even one's that aren't banging)...Their GONE...go preach and share this feeling to some that are still here...they've mapped the location for you.....

Get real, are you suggesting we should all mourn these psychopaths that terrorize neighborhoods? Tell me what value to they bring to us? And in your world, how do you define "bad". You think everyone commits crimes?

So what if they're nice guys to their relatives and friends. They're horrible creatures to the rest of us.

They deserve the scorn of us law abiding people. The sooner we make it known to other gangsters and their associates that we, as society, have no use for them and are happy to see them go away, the sooner we will begin to tackle these psychopaths.

Ok here we go.
#1 Enough with the god calling him home crap and quoting the bible. When will you small minded people wake up and realize the bible is just a book like all the other religious books for all the other retarded religions. Religion is nothing more than a way for people to have control over others by using fear and false promises beyond the grave.

#2 Sounds like this guy was a turd. You just can't polish or sweeten a turd. No one is perfect but plenty of people live out their lives with out terrorizing others. Stop adding sugar to the dead turds.

Lets see well that area on the backside is still home to 10St Dogs SOS Crips,who are cool if you keep it cool. Then again it sounds like maybe his nayborhood was tierd of him. Anyway this person was not being a positive imagae for his communtiy by gangbanging. I should no i let my community down for 15 years of gangbanging, and being a knucklehead. Thank heavens i finally grew up, and became a man and, understood I am suppose to help n protect my community not tear it down. RIP though he was still a humanbeing just a lost one.

Syscom3...Your messages to all the gangbangers that are now DEAD is redundant...Again, La Times has mapped the location of all of these crimes.....Get off the computer and go to that location and state you case to the gangbangers that are STILL ALIVE and maybe you can reach them by sharing with them that once they die and are listed here on the homicide report....That you will write a message telling them your glad their dead.

Again, these people (gangbangers) are being killed...so why are you talking to the dead when you should go be a PREVENTER.

You are one of those people that like to make a valid point in the wrong place. (I agree with you that the mind of any gangerbanger is dysfunctional) But make a difference with your words...talk to and about living people...write a message to the killer....(Because he's committing a CRIME also)

CRIMES---are anything against the law....Like chief of police having a DUI...tell LA Times to start a blog about all the crime white collar and blue so you can tell the culprit...how useless their live is...because we know your comments matter somewhere in the scheme of things.

Syscom3,

Check out today's local news.....an offduty cop was deemed legally drunk when she died in a car crash....now go post on her story about how useless her life was.....committing a crime like that, when she is a POLICE OFFICER, when she should have known better...EVERYBODY makes mistakes caught or not caught....

Mr. Gamble,

Your words are appreciated..this is what i mean...regardless of what you WERE doing prior...you are a HUMAN and HUMANS make mistakes..and unfortunately some of the gangbangers don't get the chance to change..either because they are listed here or in jail for committing a homicide or any other CRIME....thanks maybe Syscom3 can begin to understand NO ONE IS PERFECT....but we all are loved by somebody somewhere..

Get real, as you undoubtably know, there are several levels of criminal conduct that are determined when someone has died. Ranging from involuntary manslaughter all the way up to "murder one".

And any person can see that her death cannot be considered a homicide since she was the only fatality and it happened by her own conduct.

But she also contrubuted far more to society than a lot of the useless gangsters we read about on this blog.

Death comes for us all. Some in Honor and some in Shame. The Maker will seen the truth of all lives and Judge. Remember the two thieves on the Cross. One to Heaven and One to Hell. Which One are You????

Syscom3 why are you even on this message board if you didnt know the guy? Let it be for his family and friends. Its true you are so interested in gangsters, thugs and criminals. Was your Daddy any one of these and left you? Is that why you spend your time online writing hateful things about people you dont know. You need to get real and GET A LIFE!

R.I.P. Casper no matter what you were or what people may think you were, us who knew you, know what you were and thats all that matters. You will be missed maybe not by Syscom3 because we know he will be right back on here commenting about my message.

Get Real, "no one is perfect" is not a valid defense or debatable point. The vast majority of "imperfect" people do not commit crimes.

If a criminal lives long enough to change, then thats great. If not, then to bad for them. They die or go to prison by the choices they made of their own free will.

Will All of You Piz have Some Sympathy For My Husband? It's Sad that All of You Are Acting Very Childish.....

Have Some **** Respect!!!!
Yes! He Was a Gangster when he was Younger, but He has changed His Ways thanks To God.
People (Satan and his workers) don’t like when People Change for the Good So They Manipulate, Lie, and Murder. My Husband was someone none of you would understand and Most of you didn’t know him. While reading all the comments I was disappointed that so many strangers who didn’t know him can JUDGE him.

SMH Grow up and get a life!!!!!

@Syscum3 all you talk about is your tax paying. Your problem is not with the victims on these pages its with the state. All you do is complain about this that and the other. You must really have a miserable life. They say misery loves company and you get your company from the people on this blog. You act as if someone actually walks up to your door tell you that a crime has been committed and they need you to pay for it. You're going to pay taxes regardless of what it is for at the time. You say that you can judge only GOD can judge and it means something. your judgement means nothing to no one. You do all of your complaining on this blog like someone above said go out to the communities and voice your opinion or see what you can to do to help someone reform. I'm starting to think you work for L.A.T because everytime someone leaves a comment about you, you are responding as soon as the send button is pressed. Syscum response in 5,4,3,2,1.

My mom & I met him in '09. He asked us for directions on how to get to Lakewood from the Green Line. Sooo sweet; can't believe I spoke to him & now he's gone. He was a true SMALLTOWNER. rip ca$per!

Out of all respect for Vincent Ramos & his family I would like to extend my deepest condolences to you.Please don't pay attention to any negative comments on this page.All those people want is a reaction out of you because they have nothing better to do with their time.

K.R, did you know the state is bankrupt? Care to comment on that? Do you pay taxes? Does it bother you to see it wasted on the price we pay to tolerate gangsters?

And god has commanded us to judge. When people commit crimes or do antisocial behavior, he expects us to do what it takes to bring them back into line. He gave us a brain to reason with, not to be afraid to JUDGE people.

@syscum3, Yes i do know that the state is broke i guess your blaming that on the gangsters. Yes i pay taxes just like you pay taxes but do i let in control my every thought no. I don't condone what gangsters do to these communities. But talking about the dead is not going to change anything.You come on here to bash and disrespect the dead.I see you didn't have nothing to say about going into these same communities and voicing your opinion and seeing as to how you can help someone reform. There is not one post of yours that i have seen where you send your condolences to the family. Hiding behind your computer is doing nothing for the community or anyone. But like you always say you don't live in this type of environment so why is it such a big problem for you. Oh i forgot your tax dollars.

It would be nice to meet some of you and see what kind of individuals some of you are. It's real easy to sit behind a computer and run your mouth when you shouldn't. I never met this man but I have known many Caspers' throughout my life. Some have been some of the greatest individuals I've met, some have been the total opposite. Gangsters will always be gangsters, and gangsters will always do ganster things, that's the kind of life these people chose. Good for you for choosing otherwise. I have more respect for these people then some of you "Model Citizens" because of your lack of respect. This happend recently, now knowing that, how do you think this sits with the family? He is their loved one, I know it's hard for some of you to comprehend that just like you and me, Casper had something special within himself that allowed his loved ones to feel the way they do about him. Does it make you feel like you're a better individual because you had your say here and maybe made his loved ones shed and extra tear or two because of what you're saying? Let me know, I'm curious about that. What in all your life have you done to help the situation, I'll tell you what you did-Nothing- exept run your mouth behind a computer screen. Some man you are. Do any of you even know what it means to be a man nowadays? Probably not, so please have some respect before someone instills it in you in the form of a punch in the mouth. And no, I am not a ganster, I am a U.S. Marine who has done things to other human beings who needed their behavior modified a bit, I don't feel bad and it brings a smile to my face when I think about it and I probably sleep alot better than most of you, but somehow I will still be called a hero. So next time you see an Enron type, think twice because for you white collor folks, this man is 10 times more dangerous than all the Caspers in the world.

Mrs. Casper and family, I apologize for these people who obviously only run there mouth because they have one.

Although the death of any individual is saddening, Syscom, Your words on this forum do nothing but bring more grief to this world. Vincent Ramos was a criminal... that has been stated... He was a gang member.. this has also equally been acknowledged...He was murdered... that is the point everyone is trying to convey to you. out of respect to his loved ones, you should be human enough to understand that regardless of what he was, he is being mourned.
Although, the news of him being "married" is news to I believe many on here.

my brother was no angel, but for anyone to judge him is wrong...as the saying goes those with no sin cast the first stone....

My brother is not here to defend his self, so all the negative c0mments you rude people are making, just keep them to your selves...yes he has a family, a big family that loves him regardless of his past. So, if you know what respect is.. have some respect, no human being deserves to die in that manner..

He was a brother, son, cousin, uncle, friend, boyfriend who was loved very much...we will miss him so much

Thank you all for your kind words, concern, and condolences to the family. Those of you that think its okay to vomit your negative comments please try to remember Vincent has family that is grieving and who loved him unconditionally. We know that he was not a saint and maybe we did not agree with his life style but we still loved him and it still hurts. Have you ever lost someone that you loved? How do you think his Grandmother or Mother are feeling right now. Stop and think about what you say. Your anger is coming out. Try showing some respect and love to the family. I personally am very upset over this tragic death and no one and again I say No One deserves it.

For those who paid ther respects to my husband thank you from the bottom of my heart we all kno he will be missed greatly and will always be remembered in are hearts...first and for most i dont have time to waist on you lil hoes... who thought you ment something to my husband Vincent Ramos i am the one and only carrying his un born child and his last name...and to those who want to talk S**T about my husband you have another thing comming because judgement day will come!! TO: my husband Vincent Ramos also known as (casper)RIP what we have can no one ever take or change we both exchanged those words often to each other...no one will ever really know what we went through the struggles we had but got through together and our souls became one which made us unbrakeable i'm your bonnie and your my clyde just because God called your name and took you from my embrace doesn't mean were apart because i will always carry you in my heart! Love always and forever your wife Thelma Ramos.....

All I have to say is that "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that who so ever believes in Him shall not perish but shall have ever lasting life." Those are words right out of the bible..John 3:16. Do you notice that the word says who so ever? I don't agree with any kind of gang activity but Vincent obviously has family and friends that love him and he will be missed. To those of you who judge, remember God will judge you in the same mannor that you judge others. He may have had a past, but you don't know what was in his heart. Only God knows that and He will be the final judge, not you. I loved my nephew even though I didn't always agree with things in his life. He was one of God's children as each and every one of us are. God knows our hearts and the reasons we do the things we do. Instead of saying hurtful things to people, why don't you have compassion? After all, Jesus had compassion for you, so much so that He died for you, in spite of your ugly comments.

Thelma,

You are his Bonnie and he was your Clyde? Classic. I guess that one sentence speaks more about him then any other word you wrote....sad a life lived for 31 years and he neglected to leave this earth a better place then how he found it.

First and foremost, May you Rest in Peace Vincent Ramos.

Secondly, Thelma, I know you know who I am... I just want you to know that I am praying for you and your child. My heart goes out to you. When my family heard the news we were all deeply saddened. Although our relationship is complicated, I want you to know that I am praying for God to give you comfort in your time of sorrow. You are truly a good person at heart with a troubled life. Regardless of your poor choices in life in the past, you have a good heart. God sees that and I have faith that he will comfort you. I know that life has thrown many obstacles at you in the recent months past, whether by your own fault or not, I know youve gone through a lot. I wish I could give you a cmoforting hug like I know I have in the past. You and I didnt see eye to eye about a lot of things.. Which is quite understandable.. due to the circumstances. nonetheless, I want you to know that I am truly, deeply saddened, please dont lose your faith in God. Only he knows why things happened the way they did. My deepest condolences to the Ramos Family and their friends.

when one passes away from a violent death or at the hands of another...the out come from family and friends is always what a wonderful person he or she was. However, the dead person left a leagcy of hurt and unresolved feelings to many others. Any person's death does not desolve him of his past sins or criminal acts. Who out there has the Audacity to say that a violent criminal act against another person does not affect that victim for the rest of his or her life? Why then should the death of a violent criminal put to rest the past that he or she lived? At what point does God since so many want to bring that into play say enough is enough? IF God really does judge us and he has final say on where our souls end up…Why? Then should I live a good Christian life style and not do what I want to do when I want to do it however I want to do it if in the end God forgives us all? If none of us have to “pay” for our sins why the need for God, I mean after all if no matter what I do I will end up in how do the gang bangers put it paradise then why do we need man’s law? After all no matter what I do on this earth God is waiting to forgive me of all my sins past and present. I guess the bigger shame where is that man is not as for giving as your God. For you see….for all those that cry out KARMA will get you…it will. And unlike us mere human beings karma does not have a time table. So for those that wish karma on someone who killed his/her loved one. Just remember that karma has no time table the act committed 20 years ago against some innocent has come back to bite the now dead one in the butt. We all ask for karma to step in and we also ask the same from God to bring the scum bag to justice….but the one thing that no one has addressed in all the words here on this site is the karma asked for 1 or 2 or 20 years ago from the victim of a crime that was possibly committed by your now dead loved one. Has God not spoken? Has karma not stepped in? After all a robbery committed by your loved one 5 years ago had a victim who asked for justice or the victim of graffiti who has to go out every Monday to paint over the graffiti that was left by your now dead loved one when he was just starting out on his criminal life that wall belongs to someone and he does not want it marked up. Does that person not deserve justice? He’s prayer was answered….not in the time that he would have liked but in time none the less. So when the family of the dead write about how his most recent past was changed and he was in the process of changing his future just remember that some where in his past is a victim of his criminal life style that asked God for vengeance and karma to step in and even out the score. Neither of which has a time table that we like

Vincent

You were a good down to earth person who just made bad choices. No one is perfect. You will be missed and I'm sorry you had to come home to this.
Your family and friends will miss you so much. We know your in heaven because you accepted GOD. So your in good hands now and you dont ever have to worry about a place to rest your head or a female putting you in jail. (thelma the fake wifey)
that put you through hell.
Rest now!
You will be missed but always remembered.

Thank you SJP.

SJP,

Even if a person have received Christ in their live doesn't mean that they have been cleared of the consequence due them for whatever was done....Live by the sword...die by the sword..live by the gun die by the gun...but the forgiveness is between them and God it is spiritual..Vengeance is God's and God's alone...we as people see the manifestation of in physical form....

People,
Vincent was a great friend!! to me my children and to those who knew him, I can truly say that I was one of his TRUE friends. Who says that you cant make mistakes in life and then do your best to correct those wrongs and change? thats what life is about. You live, learn and grow from your mistakes.
So what is he did anything that you people acuse him of? That WAS in the past. you dont have the right to condem him no longer. Your nonsence is painful and wrong. YOU DIDNT EVEN KNOW HIM!! you only knew of his past! not of him at the time, you dont know of him since the day that he walked out of prison, he payed his debt to society for his mistakes, no one can say that when he got out he came to terrorize!! no ones death should be taken lightly! you can all see that all his famliy agrees that he make poor choices, ones he payed for, so forget that crap, its all garbage!! he wanted and struggled to do better and get ahead, its so easy for you people who didnt know him, who didnt live in his life to cendem and judge it easy for you to talk, YOU DIDNT EVEN KNOW HIM! stop slandering his memory, if you dont have nothing good or positive then just keep your hurtful and painful things to your self, dont you all understand this section is for family and friends that loved him that mourn him, that miss him, it a place where we can get together and share our grief together, im sure the family dose not need to hear your hurtful words about him, you just make it more horrible for us. this section is for us who love him and miss him and are hurting. please have some consideration. CASPER, I Love you my friend, my true friend, always there to rush to help in my time of trouble, to lift my mood when i was down, to run to my aid after my heart surgery this whole thing is painful, but in the end we still have a big blessing, a little casparin!! we miss you my friend these people speak out of anger, let them you know your where loved by your TRUE ones indeed.. me and the kids love you and miss you just know you will not be forgottern!!
your TRUE friend forever
LETTY

Let the truth be told and I hope this message gets posted. Casper I'm shocked to have learned what happened to you. You will be missed and yes you were a gangster but things changed. We all do bad at one time in our life but its our choice to change it and I know thats what you were trying to really do. I'm sorry it never turned out that way for you. You are were God has placed you and thats better than anywhere else. I hope the Cops find out who killed you. This is for Thelma----- you were just a girl that Casper was with at one time not his wife! Say the truth and stop lieing to everyone including yourself. You smothered him and thats why he was out in the streets> I use to see you both up and down long beach all the time and I heard you lied to him before about carrying his child, if this is true---then to his family get a DNA test! Dont let the snake bite you all too. Family and Friends I'm very sorry for your loss. He was someone special to us all. Please post when the services will be. Casper we all will reunite someday. Miss you just for the time being. Xoxo

Reply to Aunt Darlene. First even demons (fallen angels) believe in Jesus but it does not mean they are forgiven. We as people have been given very special status. If we chose to accept that free gift from God then we accept it on his terms” not ours”. That means letting go of that old life style and taking his (Christ). Just because you have family and love one that love you does not mean you’re forgiven (by God’s standards). Only those who have accept Christ as their Lord and Master are Children of God (sorry no others). There is grace for children since they do not know or understand, but not for adults. It is true God know each person heart, for it is full of sin. That is why Jesus gave his life for us. Because we are sinner save by God’s mercy and grace. We can as believers judge other believers but God’s judgment is on the non believer. So many people pick & choose bible verses but if you want to learn God’ truth, we need to read and study “the whole book” (not sound bites). Remember he did not come to change the law but to fulfill it. We are all like the two thieves on the cross with Jesus. One repented and accepted the free gift and the other rejected and condemns him selves (the unforgiven sin). May God’s truth be proclaims in all believers lives.

JR, so that it is clear to you, Vincent was SAVED, he trusted his life to Christ about a week before his passing.
He truly accepted Gods gift after repenting, just for all those who still condem him.

This is a response to J.R.'s comment. I totally understand about salvation. If a person asks God to forgive them for their sins and asks Jesus into their hearts, than God forgives and forgets. We don't need to complicate salvation.
Thank you LB Raider for letting everyone know that he excepted God's forgiveness a week before his passing. As a young child my oldest sister Mary took him and his brother to church regularly and I took them as young teenagers regularly. Somewhere along the line he became troubled like many of our youth. Like I said before, which you obviously didn't understand, J.R. was that I didn't always agree with things he did but I always loved him. When we receive Jesus into our lives, God forgives us and takes us as his own. Vincent did have a hard life, but God obviously knew his heart. Only God knows of the final outcome of his soul, not you or anybody else. All who except Jesus Christ as savior will enter into God's kingdom.

All of you Jesus worshipers put way to much faith in religion. Yes I know that being religious is having faith in god. It must be comforting for you to believe that a person can be a terror to others by stealing and murdering but as long as they have faith they go to heaven. A lot of you are going to be disappointed when you die and find out that Christianity is just as false as Islam, Hinduism, and all the other MAN created religions. Although you probably won't realize your dead because you will not exist in any physical or conscious form so lucky for you there will be no disappointment. Never mind. Continue with your fairy tales and mysticism. Leave the logically moral living to the intellectuals.

Before you are truly saved, god expects you to take responsibility for the crimes you committed and were never charged with. And that means you go to the police to confess your crimes, or to your victims and ask for forgiveness.

You just cannot think that you can wreck havoc on people or society and not pay the price for it. God does not want heaven contaminated by criminals.

Sysscum you are the last person to know anything about god and what he does!

Oh mr.sycamore tree, you have no knowlegde of what the bible says. you make me laugh you dont even know anything yourself, please dont give advice.. you are a joke in human form. please no more comments from you..

I make no judgment since I do not know the man. I just wanted that God’s truth is clearly stated, not the “we need the feel good stuff” that is sometimes spoken. That is why I use the two thieves on the cross. One repented and the other did not (Luke 23:39-43). The two men reflect us as humans. There are people in church right now, who have not truly accepted the gift (truly) as it was in the time of Jesus. If the man repented and accepted Christ, he is Saved. As for going to church as a child that was good but that is not a Pass. It is in fact worst for the one who rejects. That is someone who knows better and does not do right before God (Pharisees/Pastors/Priests or us). Please take a read of Luke 23: verses 39 thru 43. It is also true We can not escape the consequences of the life we lead. We can pray that God will give us strength to endure and not repeat it, but we have to still deal with it. I read about all these lost souls and hopeful that another will read these things and make a change, because so long as you live, YOU CAN.

Once again, now to you mr JR
he was one of the thiefs on the cross, did i not make myself clear?? He WAS SAVED!!! he did accept Gods Gift, he did repent, so just leave it alone, He was MY BEST FRIEND!!! So i would know!!! i planted the seed!!!! God watered it!! so if your preaching to someone here, then go ahead, but leave Vincent out..

My Friend Vincent
tommorow will be such a hard day.. We will c u one last time and no more, well not your phyisical body, i will c u in pictures but i will have our memories embeded in my mind and in my heart. I can hear your voice and your crazy laugh in my head. You will never be forgotten. You where a true friend to me. I will always honor your memory, one day WE WILL c eachother again, take care of your brother for me, keep eyes on him.. I love you my friend. You may have gone away for now, but you will NEVER be forgotten. There are no more struggles for you my friend, it time to rest and have fun up there!!!
YOUR TRUE FRIEND FOREVER
LETTY

wow some people can be really cruel.... but besides that i send my respects and condolence to the Ramos family.... RIP CASPER

My nephew Vincent was buried yesterday and I was so happy to hear what the two pastors that spoke said about him. I know that many seeds were planted and watered in Vincent throughout his life but one day he answered God's call and invited Jesus to be the Lord of his life. Yes, we all have to pay consequences for the things we do in our life, but know this, once God forgives us, He forgets. There is only one way to get into heaven, and thats through Jesus Christ. A lot of people got saved at his funeral when the salvation message was given. I am so thankful to God for that. God Bless you all and Thank you for all of the people that helped in the car wash. He ended up having a very nice memorial service and he will be cremated and finally put to rest. He had a hard life, but now he will finally have peace, joy and love with the Lord.

You will be so missed my friend, the service was great and aswome, i want you to know that you are sooooo missed and loved, i will never forget you Casper, NEVER!!! say hello to Silent and Solo and Whisper!!! I love you all...
FOREVER IN MY HEART
LETTY

To Family and Friends of Vincent i'm sorry for ur loss..."What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget."

You people in California are a trip,how can you say a gangbanger is a nice and good person,do you know gangbangers make there money off the neighborhoods,they turn there own people into vombies and sell them drugs in order to get a good customer,and your small kids are recruited into gangs to do the same,this guy wasn't good,he lived to control his own hood,and killed anyone that gets in there way,every gangbanger does that black or brown,fighting over turf,what a joke,like they owned you people your just a pay check to them and no matter how well you talk about them,if told to they will bite you like a dog.

No matter how you want to look at it, this guy was a piece of garbage. Fortunately, one of his own did the work that Police could not do.
I know his people want to say that he was a beautiful person. This has to do with their desire to see their abnormal and criminal behavior as something normal or forgivable. I have news for you: He was a low-life, and his way of life caught-up to him. Live with it!
Ps:
Syscom: I love your comments. They are right on target!

vincent you are so missed! I love you lil brother... will never forget you and I will always have you in my heart and in my thoughts

I did not know Casper...I just want to extend my thoughts and prayers to the Family..

My condolences to the family...I jst lost my husband too!!!n this disrespectful personsyscom3 has been leaving messages!!on everyones forum...get a life!!let the familys of the deceased rest in peace u will die one day...too n I pray god has mercy on you!

I am saddened to see this happy go lucky homie go. I 1st met him in 92' (LP) often confused him with his brother who was also cool. I later ran into him 10 yrs later, he meant no harm. He has matured in his picture (another 10 yrs since we last met).Gang members are human and are a products of our environment. Quick for you to judge someone off the bat, that all gang members are bad. Most of us act when threatened. Dont %$# with us, we wont &^^%$ with you....simple. Most of us have more respect then any of you so called "law abiding citizens "will ever have, (cowards)you know who you are. I banged since the age of 11...went thru the whole system. At the age 33 I just purchased a home , I might live right next to you. If you want it , you will get it! Never the less RIP Casper ... my prayers go out to you and your family! He was a good guy, not a racist like most mexican gangsters from LB. Keep posting s### about someone you did not know...talk about not having s#$# to do all day...loser! Why not use that energy to try do something positive, make good change...you seem to get off in making things worst...again COWARD reply with you childish I hate gang member BS! If you never lived that kind of lifestyle. You will never know..so your opinion here means nothing.You think we like living this way? Its crazy not to see someone in awhile, then to see them here. I am still shocked. Just remembering the good times with him, he was too funny. Life is once...make the best choices and you will flourish! Disregard all the non sense, but take heed to how you are looked at by this bias (clueless) society we live in. RIP CASPER.

It's just the same old story he was changing his life around when this happened. That is a bunch of B.S. I would respect anyone even more if they for once said the truth he had a record, was gangbanging, committed crimes, that's why he is a felon. That bs we all make mistakes is just an excuse, we all do but we don't kill, rob, beat, assault, rape, shoot, or victimize others. What do gangsters do besides all these things you can also add selling/using drugs to that. Why is he full of tattoos if he was such an outstanding person like you guys say? Come on who would hire someone like that? Plain and simple you bang for life even if you want to get away because if your rivals really want to get you they will it's just a matter of time. Especially if La Eme wants to wack you just count your days and say your goodbyes!!!

WLB-

Spare us the excuses and macho posturing. Many people grow up in the hood and don't make the stupid and cowardly choices of being a criminal and gangbanger. People like you use any and all excuses you can find to justify being a lazy and non-productive member of society.

ok haters, I did NOT know Casper Personally, but I DO know friends of his and I DO know the LORD. I don't keep up with who said what on these posts so read on bitches and let it merinate for a bit. for those who say he was a well know gangster and why do the people who are close to him always "sugar coat it" and say what a great guy he was? well maybe that's because THEY KNEW HIM!!!! and more importantly ONLY GOD KNOWS HIS HEART AND HIS INTENTIONS. People act out in life do to circomstances delt to them it may not be fair and it may not be understood and it may be down right TERRORIZING for some, however the world is filled people who JUDGE everyone else when we all know that GOD is the ONLY judge that matters. to the DUMP TRUCK up there who made the comment about the "saying" "Only God can judge me" IT'S NOT A "SAYING"!!!! IT'S IN THE BIBLE!!!! Cuz when we take it upon ourselves to judge Vincent and or anyone else..... well we're basically calling ourselves perfect, news flash only God is Perfect and a SIS IS A SIN AND WE ARE ALL GUILTY OF THEM, MERDER,RAPE,ADULTRY,WORSHIPING SOMEONE OTHER THAN GOD INCLUDING YOURSELF AND JUDGING OTHERS. JESUS WALKED THIS EARTH FOR 33 YEARS WITHOUT COMMITING 1 SIN THEN HE DIED FOR OURS!!!! HE IS PERFECTION!!!! SO UNTIL YOU CAN WALK ON WATER AND CURE THE BLIND WITH MUD. THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU SAY THAT CASPER OR ANYONE ELSE "GOT WHAT THEY DESERVED" PEACE!!!!

— NOTW;

Stop acting like all sins are equal.

the vast majoity of people on this planet have not commited the most horrific of sins ... "murder" and "assault with a weapon".

Once people like you, use your god given intelligence and become judgemental on violent criminals, then all you are doing is enabling and perpetrating this lifestyle.

God is counting on people like you to condemn the actions and do so in no uncertein terms!

Miss you very much too Casper!
You need to let go and rest now.
You will never be forgotten!

CASPER.... I miss you so much friend, lots has been going on, to bad your not here to enjoy it... i was just sitting here thinkin of the fun we had at lil lets quince!! what a blast!! love you always!!!

Still missing you!!!! wishing you where here....

WOW I live in SC the 49th state in education, and its unreal to me the level of stupidity that is going on in that community in California, our richest state, I can tell from the grammar and spelling that education is not a high priority there, moreover, the morality of those folks to try to glorify a gangster lifestyle shows how ignorance breeds ignorance. Syscom3 and like comments are spot on. We have a war against terror, we need a war against ignorance and gangsters. One woman is actually proud to be carrying his child. What sort of atmosphere is this child going to be brought up in. Is he going to take his daddy's place?come on people, this is America, the opportunities are here to get an education, open a business, live a life that contributes to society. This man's life should be a good lesson for kids in the neighborhood, that they need to do the opposite of what he did. Live a good long life, see and influence your kids growing up and in the end hug the grandkids and tell the stories vs a short life,( with some of that in jail), shot like a dog in the street, Remember , the sins of the father shall fall to the son,

I don't believe that all GANGSTERS are bad people. I know a few gangsters that went off to college and made something of themselves, Two became lawyers, one became a cop and another became a teacher. I see them on the weekend still hanging with the homies. They haven't forgotten where they came from or their background. I know a few gangsters that have helped out my grandmother when they see her out it her garden or have walked me home at 3am when my ride home was to drunk to drive. So, how dare you say all gangsters are bad or are a piece of S***. If you have not lived in the hood or been around. don't say you know.

Much love and respect go's out to the loved ones of this homeboy.I was checking out the homicide report when i seen the homies picture.i am not sure if its him,but if someone can verfiy for me it would apperciated i was in CENTINELA STATE PRISON in 2005-2008 and i met a cool ass , homeboy that i belive is this vato,i know is from a varrio in long beach ,thats wht i think its him gracias

Prison records for Vincent Ramos show he was convicted of second-degree murder in 1999 and was sentenced to 12 years in prison. He was released early on parole on May 23, 2009, nearly a year before he was killed.

I don't feel anything for this dude. He played the game and paid for it. thAT's it. some of my cousins are or were gangbangers and thank the lord i never bought into that BS, and my family moved to a better area when i was a kid. They are cool to their families ect...but they don't deserve sympathy. They were men and made their own choices, this is their bed and now they have to lie in it.

From these posts I can see that he was a Popular gangmember. Must've been a OG?

U R STILL MISSED! we love you..we will meet up in the sky when the time is right!

I remember when casper r.i.p. and his twin first got into smalltown,sad to hear ,some of us just cant ever leave the neighborhoods we grow up in ,its crazy but unless you live it,i mean really live it ,you dont know or will ever understand.RIP jose 'WHISPER' duran.and RIP CASPER.

cant believe it i met him way back in th 90s RIP .

Live by the sword and die by the sword. Gangbanging is a crime. All life is important. Gangbanger should respect life. Until they do, this is where it ends. Nevertheless RIP.

— Not Down
Ever tried explaining that to a gangster? Impossible conversation.

U R still Missed! Today! Tomorrow and always!

Just reading and i have to throw my 2 cents.Seriously,the guy in the Picture looks like he was up to No Good...Seriously,what sane person will put a Tattoo on their neck with probably a VARRIO on it??..He was looking for trouble and attention.I won't judge him because i didn't knew him,but just using the sixth sense of "PREJUDISM",i would get uneasy if he was walking by me at night or coming at me.His expression doesn't look Inviting,ask a Cop.He would feel the same....I'm a good struggling student and haven't found a Latina Girlfriend,i'm amazed How Latinas (like the one opening this page) stand next to losers....just sad,get yourself a good man..Not GANGBANGERS...

well seems that most of these pepole dont really careabout gangsters ...can understand that ..but a life is life and yes ..god gives and god takes. pepole need to keep negative comments to themselves their are still young kids and parents that really dont need hear that in thier times of pain me i wish these people the best under circumstance rip dc

STILL MISSING YOU TODAY AND ALWAYS!! you will always be MISSED and thought of!!!! Angel looks more and more like you everyday!!!

Thinking of you as always.
Rest Casper, everyone will be ok.
