This memorial website was created in memory of our dearest loved one, Ralph Arthur Nuñez.  He was only 60 years old.  We lost him too soon and our hearts are hurting in a big way.

He was born on September 1, 1953 and he brought our family much joy.  I first saw him when he was born.  He was a very happy baby.  We  both went to Whittier High School for a duration; later he went to Pioneer High School.

Well, he always treasured the memory of ourselves in high school. He frequently related those times to me because he remembered that I alone wanted to walk with him in between classes and lunch time. He always noticed the "little things, and I am thankful to have him as my very own brother my whole life.  
Later we worked together and carpooled.  He was a lot of fun just being good about being himself.  It is his faith in God, his sincerity and wholeheartedness that made him who he became.
Years later, Ralph took ill.  Then at age 60 (mid-March 2014), Ralph became severely ill, so he self-admitted to Whittier Hospital but he died on March 25, 2014. We do not understand why the hospital didn't call our home, for surely the Coronor did.  That was shocking, to say the least.  

So we are all  grieving over losing him.   Ralph was the "apple" of Mama's eye, and it was so easy to see why.  I've known him all of my life and he was mindful about all of us.  Life wasn't easy for him, for his health took a toll.  My sisters and I are glad that this didn't happen while Mama was alive, for the agony would have killed her.

Our brother was a very generous person, considerate and kind.  He had deep faith in God and His written Word, The Holy Bible. ~ There are so many good attributes to describe him. ~ he was a hearty worker during his employment years.  Especially, though, It brought him much joy to buy Mama earrings and fine jewelry along with giving to others.

Ralph was a giver.  He always gave of himself, his time, energies, from his heart and, O God in heaven, we miss him dearly!

All we really want is closure.  The time and place are yet to be determined.

In advance, thank you for leaving your name as a tribute and a note if you are inclined to do so.

Ralph is survived by:
