Funeral services and a memorial ride have been set for 30-year-old Long Beach resident Gustavo Ramirez who was killed Jan. 5 while cycling on Shoreline Drive.
A rosary vigil has been set for Wednesday at 7 p.m. and a funeral mass for Thursday at 10 a.m. -- both at St. John Bosco High School Chapel, 13640 Bellflower Blvd. in Bellflower.
The graveside services will commence immediately following the funeral mass at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier. A celebration of man's life will be held immediately after the services at Pacific Sailing Yacht Club in Shoreline Village.
A memorial ride to honor Ramirez will take place on Saturday to finish his ride back to Belmont Shore.
Cyclists will meet at Lincoln Park at Pacific Avenue and First Street in downtown Long Beach beginning at 8 a.m., and the ride will start promptly at 9 a.m. The route will approximate Gustavo's favorite ride as cyclists will head to the Queen Mary before stopping for a brief remembrance at the accident site at Shoreline Drive and Shoreline Village Drive. People who don't wish to ride are encouraged to meet at the site at 9:30 a.m.
After a brief remembrance, cyclists will continue the ride to Belmont Shore.
