Ralph Anthony Rasmussen Jr.

Ralph Rasmussen Jr. was a loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, godfather, and friend. Above all, he was a family man whose love, laughter, and willingness to help others touched so many lives.

Ralph was the son of the late Ralph Rasmussen Sr. and Roberta Ann Rasmussen. He was preceded in death by his parents, his two older sisters, Cindy Webster and Kathy Neal, his beloved great-grandson, Landon Rasmussen, and his son-in-law, Craig.

He is survived by his siblings Joyce Gibson (Lee), Glenn Rasmussen (Elsie), Mark Rasmussen (Ruben), Chris Rasmussen (Angelica), and Patricia Carter. He also leaves behind his beloved godchildren, Roberta Valencia, James Rasmussen, and Erik Neal.

Ralph’s greatest joy was his family. He spent many years coaching his children in youth sports and continued showing his support by attending his grandchildren’s sporting events and school activities. He was always their biggest supporter.

A true jack of all trades, Ralph was the person everyone called when something needed fixing. He was always willing to lend a helping hand. He also loved to dance and enjoyed making memories with the people closest to him.

Ralph leaves behind his loving children and their families:

Ralph Rasmussen III and wife, Randi, and their children Courtney, Brittany, Ashley, Marcus, Shelby, and Emma. Their family continues to grow with great-grandchildren Ashton and Makayla, expected in December 2026, and a baby girl expected in April 2027.

Mathew Rasmussen and wife, Maria, and their children Destiny, Isaiah, Savannah, Elijah, Aileen, Arlett, Roger, Allan, and Zakai, along with a great-granddaughter expected.

Daughter Esther and her children Madison, Richard, Loralei, Lillyth, and Iris.

Daughter Sheila Ayala and her children Alexandra, Neveah, and Leah.

Youngest son Joshua Rasmussen and wife, Marissa, and their children Christian and Scarlett.

Ralph leaves behind a legacy of love, hard work, laughter, and family. He will be remembered as the father who coached from the sidelines, the grandfather who always showed up, the man who could fix just about anything, and the one who loved to dance.

Though our hearts are broken, his memories, lessons, and love will live on through the generations of his family.

Rest peacefully, Dad. You may be gone from our sight, but you will forever live in our hearts. You are loved, deeply missed, and never forgotten.
