He was awarded three Combat Action Ribbons for his services in three different war zones, as well as five Bronze Star Medals, two with “V” devices for valorous acts done during combat. Abernathy highlighted that Commander Ramirez’s passing is “a devastating loss to our community” and that the organization would be in close contact with his family and teammates as they grieve.
This is the second time in the last year that a SEAL team commander has died, as Commander Brian Bourgeois of SEAL Team 8 in Virginia Beach passed away in December 2021 following a training incident involving a helicopter.
