Miguel Rico Ramos

Miguel Ramos Rico led a life marked by hard work, family devotion, and community service. Born in San Martin Hidalgo, MX in 1928, he and his wife Maria traversed borders and regions in pursuit of better agricultural opportunities. Over the years, they settled in various places, finally making their home in Logandale, Nevada where they built a thriving ranch and raised their family. Miguel's dedication to agriculture and his role as a farmer significantly impacted the Moapa Valley Area.

His legacy extends beyond his professional endeavors; Miguel's commitment to his family and community was unwavering. His contributions to the church and the Knights of Columbus were profound, and his resilience and dedication to his craft will be remembered by all who knew him. Despite his busy life as a farmer and his later employment at Simplot Silica, Miguel always made time for his family, cherishing moments of joy and laughter with them. He lived the American dream and maximized the opportunities afforded to him during his 62 years in the Moapa Valley.
