January 26, 2025 at 7:14 amRalph McNeel was a truly kind and loving soul who faced many challenges in life, but he ultimately found profound purpose in his family’s love and needs. He took immense pride in his two children, and his affection for their mother never wavered. His grandchildren brought him boundless joy, lighting up his blue eyes with happiness. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had such a wonderful friend in my life; I often wish we had crossed paths sooner. He will forever hold a place in my heart and soul. Now that he is free from pain, I find comfort in knowing he is at peace. Until we meet again, my dear friend, please save a spot for me. Rest in love and peace.

Though life’s journey was not always easy for him, everything changed when his beloved children and their mother, whom he always cherished, blessed him with grandchildren who filled his blue eyes with joy. He was a dear friend, and I often wish we had met earlier in life. Now free from pain, his spirit continues to shine within us. Until we meet again, may he rest in peace and love.
