José Ramón Ávalos Navarrete (2 January 1935 – 5 July 2021 [1]) was a Salvadoran politician who was a member of the Revolutionary Government Junta from 1980 to 1982.
He was born in the province of Quezaltepeque to Carmen Navarrete and José Lorenzo Avalos.
After graduating, he met and married Anna Miriam Sanchez, and had their oldest daughter a year after.
Soon after that, Jose Ramon moved to the United States to finish his residency and training.
At the time, political unrest in El Salvador was growing, and after the Salvadoran Civil War broke out, Avalos was appointed as a civilian member of the Second Revolutionary Government Junta formed on 9 January 1980.
