Joseph Vincent Ralph of Comstock Park, Michigan, age 53, passed away on April 7, 2024.  He was born to Joseph Francis Ralph and Carol (Easton) Ralph on August 24, 1970 in Cleveland OH.

Joe was the youngest of four children and moved to Michigan when he was just 3 years old.  He remained in Michigan after living in Dewitt, Haslett, and Comstock Park.  He graduated from Dewitt High School and then followed his father into the furniture business by being a Manufacturer's Representative for Riverside Furniture.  He later joined the transportation industry where he stayed there for the rest of his career.

Joe had one son, Gabriel, to whom he was a loving and devoted father.   He spent as much time with Gabe as he could and focused his life around him.  Joe was very proud of his son and dedicated himself to being the best dad possible.  In addition to his time with Gabe, Joe enjoyed working on his 442 and chasing Michigan sunsets.  He was an excellent guitar player and was with several bands over the years.

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN

We think about you always,

We talk about you still,

You have never been forgotten,

And you never will.

We hold you close within our hearts,

And there you will remain,

To walk and guide us though our lives,

Until we meet again.
