Fort Lupton, CO — The tight-knit communities of Fort Lupton and Denver are mourning the heartbreaking loss of Ramon Muñoz, a devoted business owner, friend, and neighbor whose sudden passing has left an unfillable void. Known to many in Colorado’s trucking industry as the founder and owner of RM Low Trucking, Ramon built more than a business—he built trust, loyalty, and relationships that extended far beyond his professional life.
His death, confirmed by those close to him, has not only brought grief but also sparked important conversations about mental health, online bullying, and the need for compassion in both face-to-face and digital interactions.
A Life Marked by Dedication and Determination
Ramon Muñoz was the embodiment of the American entrepreneurial spirit. Born and raised with strong family values, he worked tirelessly to build his trucking company from the ground up. Through RM Low Trucking, he became a respected figure in Colorado’s freight and transport community, earning contracts that spanned the state and sometimes took him far beyond its borders.
Colleagues remember him as a man of integrity—a professional who honored his commitments, treated clients fairly, and supported his fellow drivers. He wasn’t just a business owner; he was a mentor, often taking the time to offer guidance to younger drivers just entering the industry.
Outside of work, Ramon was known for his warmth and generosity. Friends recall countless times he stepped in to help without being asked, whether it was lending a truck, offering a ride, or simply listening when someone needed to talk.
The Circumstances Surrounding His Passing
According to those close to him, Ramon had been dealing with significant emotional distress in the weeks leading up to his passing. While the official cause of death has been reported as suicide, friends and family allege that targeted harassment and online bullying—particularly through a platform referred to as the “Tea App”—played a role in his declining mental state.
While these allegations have not yet been confirmed by authorities, the outpouring of grief has been matched by calls for greater accountability on social media platforms. The tragedy has reignited public discussions on cyberbullying, its potentially devastating consequences, and the urgent need for kindness in all forms of communication.
An Outpouring of Tributes
Following news of Ramon’s death, messages of sympathy have flooded social media. Friends, fellow truckers, and members of the Fort Lupton and Denver communities have been sharing stories that capture his generosity, humor, and unwavering loyalty.
One longtime friend described Ramon as “the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back, no questions asked.” Another noted that “his laughter could fill a room, and his presence made you feel safe.”
For many, Ramon’s loss feels deeply personal. Even those who knew him only in passing recall small but meaningful interactions that left a lasting impression.
Remembering His Contributions to the Trucking Community
Through RM Low Trucking, Ramon contributed significantly to the local economy, creating jobs, fostering partnerships, and helping keep goods moving through Colorado and beyond. He took pride in his work and expected the same level of dedication from everyone on his team, but he balanced those high expectations with understanding and support.
In the trucking community, where long hours and solitary drives can take a toll on drivers’ mental and physical health, Ramon was a source of encouragement. He understood the challenges of the road and often advocated for better working conditions and support networks for drivers.
A Call for Compassion and Awareness
Ramon’s passing has become a rallying point for discussions about mental health awareness, especially in industries like trucking where isolation is common. His story serves as a sobering reminder that no one is immune to emotional struggles and that the impact of words—both in person and online—can be profound.
Mental health advocates urge anyone facing similar challenges to seek help and for communities to watch out for each other. Simple acts of kindness, regular check-ins with friends, and offering a listening ear can make all the difference.
Memorial and Farewell
Details regarding Ramon’s memorial service will be shared by his family in the coming days. It is expected to draw a large gathering of family, friends, colleagues, and community members—all united in honoring his memory.
Those who knew him hope to celebrate not only his achievements but also the kindness, humor, and resilience he showed throughout his life. His legacy will live on through the countless people he helped and the example he set as a hardworking, compassionate man.
