Papa Ralf—On the evening of September 28th, 2024, Papa Ralf passed away unexpectedly, leaving his family and community in mourning. Just two months ago, Papa Ralf was diagnosed with colon cancer and given an estimated 2.5 years to live. He and his wife, Kim, made the decision to move from Indiana to California to be closer to their loved ones, thinking they had more time together. However, his condition took a tragic turn when his colon ruptured, and he passed shortly after.
Papa Ralf was known for his dedication to supporting his family, including his wife Kim and her children, whom he treated as his own. His passing has left a significant void, and now his family is grappling with the emotional and financial challenges of his unexpected departure.
Jennifer Lewis, Papa Ralf’s stepdaughter-in-law, has organized a fundraiser to cover the costs of his cremation and a modest service. The goal is to raise $2,300, and donations are already pouring in from friends and supporters. Some of the heartfelt contributions include donations from Elissia Soito ($50), Lenore Morris ($50), and an anonymous donor who contributed $200.
The family is deeply appreciative of the support they have received so far, and they understand that many are facing financial hardships themselves. They welcome not only donations but also prayers and kind thoughts during this difficult time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Papa Ralf’s family. May they find comfort and strength in the love and support of those around them.
