The Colorado trucking community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Ramon Muñoz, a respected truck driver and business owner widely known as the “OG Trucker in Colorado.” Muñoz, who lived in Fort Lupton, died by suicide following relentless cyberbullying on a chat app where he was the target of cruel and anonymous harassment. He was originally from Chihuahua, Mexico.
Ramon was more than just a trucker—he was a mentor, a friend, and a man who touched countless lives through his work and generosity. He proudly owned and operated RM Low Trucking, a business that reflected his tireless work ethic and deep commitment to providing for his family and supporting his community.
To those who knew him, Ramon was a source of light and encouragement. His friends describe him as someone who could lift any room with his humor and warmth, who was always willing to extend a helping hand, and who treated everyone like family. Whether on the road, at the gym, or spending time with loved ones, he carried himself with a spirit that left an impression on everyone he met.
But behind that strength, Ramon faced an unseen battle. On the chat app known as the “tea app,” he became the target of relentless online bullying. Close friend Marlene Rodriguez spoke out in grief and anger after his death, writing:
“You bitches need to give these men some grace and mercy on the fucking tea app. Someone took their life due to cyberbullying. This was someone’s loved one and you hurt ass bitches lied on his name ANONYMOUSLY for what? … There was one who was extremely hurt about it that he had to take his own life to not have to deal with being talked down and laughed about.”
Her raw words reflect the pain many in the community are now carrying—a mix of grief, anger, and disbelief that such cruelty could push someone as beloved as Ramon to such a devastating end.
His death is a painful reminder of the real consequences of cyberbullying and the importance of compassion, both online and offline. While some may shrug off cruel comments as harmless gossip, the wounds they leave can cut deep, particularly when aimed at someone’s character, livelihood, or dignity.
The void left by Ramon’s passing is immeasurable. Friends remember him as more than a colleague or companion—they remember him as a brother. His love for trucking and the open road was matched only by his love for his family, his friends, and the community he built around him.
As the Colorado trucking community and beyond grapple with this tragedy, many are calling for accountability and a renewed focus on kindness in the digital age. Ramon’s story is a reminder that words matter and that even the strongest among us can be deeply wounded by cruelty.
Ramon Muñoz will be remembered as a hardworking man with a generous heart, whose life was cut short not by the miles on the road, but by the weight of words that should never have been spoken. His friends, family, and all who loved him now hold onto his memory and the lessons his loss brings.
May his soul rest in peace, and may his story inspire a change toward compassion in a world that needs it more than ever.
