The highly decorated commanding officer of California-based SEAL Team 1 has died, and officials are investigating whether he took his own life.
Cmdr. Robert Ramirez III was found deceased at his home on Monday, Dec. 19, and foul play isn’t suspected. He was 47.
He’d spent nearly 27 years in the Navy, rising from a recruit in Great Lakes, Illinois, to lead a SEAL team. He took command of the Coronado-based team in November.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the Ramirez family. Bobby was an outstanding leader, devoted husband and father, and a good friend to us all,” said Capt. David Abernathy, the commander of Naval Special Warfare Group 1, which manages all Coronado-based Navy SEAL teams, in a prepared statement emailed to Coffee or Die Magazine. “This is a [devastating] loss to our community and all who knew him. We will remain in support of Bobby’s family, friends, and teammates during this extremely difficult time.”
