Tai Nicole Ramos

Tai Nicole Ramos, 40, of Barryton, Michigan, passed away unexpectedly on September 24, 2026, following an automobile accident. Her unexpected passing has brought great sadness to her family, friends, and all those who knew and loved her.

Tai was a strong, beautiful, smart, loving, and caring woman whose kindness was one of the things that made her so special. She had a heart for helping others and a special way of doing something, no matter how big or small, just to make someone’s day a little brighter. Her love was shown through everything she did, whether for a person, an animal, or something she cared deeply about.

Tai had a personality that was impossible to forget. She was never afraid to speak her mind, had a stubborn streak, and always knew how to make people laugh. She loved joking around, and her contagious laugh could brighten the moments she shared with others. Throughout her most recent jobs, she made many friends and lasting memories, leaving behind connections that extended beyond the workplace.

Some of Tai’s favorite moments were the ones spent with the people she loved. She treasured family time around the holidays, enjoyed nights out with her girls, and never turned down a good road trip or concert with friends and family. She loved trying new things, exploring new places, and making memories along the way, even if facing her fear of heights was a challenge of its own.

One of Tai’s proudest accomplishments was paying off her home and being able to call it her own. She worked hard to build a life where she could feel secure, comfortable, and at peace, surrounded by her family and the pets she loved. Her home was more than just a place to live; it was a space she had worked hard to make her own, where she could enjoy the life she built.

Tai is survived by her father, Fernando Ramos; stepfather, Ronald Roethlisberger; mother-in-law, Denise Lowe; maternal grandparents, Linda Champlain and Bill Champlain; her three children, oldest daughter Jada Thorne and son-in-law Lloyd Thorne, son Braxton Bay, and youngest daughter Ariana Ramos; her brother, Anthony Ramos, and sister-in-law, Danielle Ramos; brother-in-law, Kelly Lowe, and sister-in-law, Leanore Lowe; and nieces-in-law, Armani Lowe and Allante Lowe. She also leaves behind many extended family members and dear friends who will cherish her memory.

Tai was preceded in death by her mother, Shari Champlain; paternal grandmother, Beatrice Ramos; and paternal grandfather, Pilar Ramos.

Though her time with us was far too short, Tai leaves behind countless memories, laughter, love, and lessons that will not be forgotten. Her beautiful smile, generous heart, and unforgettable spirit will live on in everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

A message from Tai:

“Remember my smile, my love, and the little moments that made us laugh. Love deeply, help whenever you can, and make someone’s day a little brighter. Keep climbing, keep exploring, and never be afraid to face your fears. I’ll always be cheering you on. Until we meet again, 1 4 3.

Her memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, October 10, at Charles R. Lux Family Funeral Home. The family will receive friends one hour before the service.
