Thomas Wade Ralph

Thomas W. Ralph, age 61, passed away unexpectedly at his home on June 28, 2024. He was born on October 22, 1962, to William and Ann Ralph in Marion, Ohio.

Tom owned and operated TWR Excavating; he loved his job and took so much pride in the work he did.

Tom loved going to his weekend getaway at Indian Lake. While there he would meet up with his buddies and hang out with his family. They would go out boating and hit up his favorite clubs; Eagle’s, VFW, Legion, and Amvets where he was a member in Marion and Indian Lake. He loved to play pull tickets, football boards, and bar bingo. He loved to BS with anybody and everybody especially his friends and family. He was the best friend you could ever have; he would give you the shirt off his back. You could always find Tom in “The Shop” with the juke box cranked and a cold one in hand.
